Yet also very much in fashion for walking down the Champs Elysées these days. Such French chic.

Sorry, infowars must mean it's fake, there is links to the original fb/twitter feed, it's real.

The Buzzfeed journalist was the one lying saying he made it up

Most cathedrals will have similar teams. I caught a documentary on Cologne Cathedral a few years ago where they stated that once you've reached one end of the cathedral with your repairs & restoration work, you can go right back to the beginning. These things, particularly romanic & gothic cathedrals, are a permanent work in progress, so the talent and know how should definitely be there.

Yes, I had thought as much but I wasn't sure. It's just going to be a long, slow process. Hopefully they'll be able to spare a few members from each team around Europe to get it done properly.

It was on a news clip, showing the firefighters fighting the fire, and a person walking across one of the towers. There was supposed to be nobody in the cathedral.

Because.. Some people have a hard one for Muslims and they need everybody to know.

They showed the Cathedral burning as well, it is burning.

Infowars is crap but they are just reporting what is happening with this.

I wonder how the fire took such a fierce hold so quickly. There would have had to have been staff from security to general workers trained in fire safety or however that course is designated there to ensure no breaches, systematic or otherwise in fire safety.

In my job for 100 staff or whatever there were about 10 fire Marshall’s, drills were regular and even though they were ‘line employees’ for the most part they wouldn’t be shy issuing a bollocking and or reporting folks who were endangering potentially the workspace and or individuals through things like cars blocking fire exits, careless smoking practices, Also, with such an iconic building with so much flammable materials from wood, artworks, building materials etc there must have been some kind of positioning of extinguishers and blankets close to where work of greater risk was going on. Whole thing is weird.

I know the Facebook reaction is real, just because it is infowars, a spade is often just a spade.

From the inside! https://twitter.com/areinaud/status/1117916691353067521 . Looks relatively ok thankfully besides the part near the cross at the back which I am assuming is where the Spire came in

I'm sure it will be restored to its former glory.

One of the things being reported a lot on French media is that quite a lot of the artworks and even the external statues had been temporarily removed for conservation work. So a lot of the artwork has been inadvertently saved.

Amazingly, the same was true for the Cutty Sark a few years ago, when most of the original parts were already offsite for restoration work.

Jesus, that looks VERY salvageable from a structural point of view from that pic and my untrained eye

Those pictures from the interior would make you hopeful.

It is a valid post on the issue of Notre Dame but for another thread.

As symbolic as the collapse of a 800 yr old building.

Can we just feck off with the Muslim/middle eastern names crap? All of those people are idiots. We get it. There are plenty of idiots in the world, and I can guarantee if some ancient British castle went up, there would be plenty of Irish idiots cheering about it. Talk about trying to take away from the tragedy to push their own agenda.

I was actually thinking that myself that if st.pauls cathedral went up in flames, all the Celtic RA heads will be on social media loving it too.

There's always a minority of **** in every aspect of every culture, religion or country.

The idiots need to push the agenda 24/7. The interior looks suprisingly ok considering the drone footage.

Not really. A bunch of idiots on Facebook is not news.

Pedro's purpose is to make this thread about Muslims. Obsession.

People here are trying to drag this thread off topic.

Looking at the drone footage I can't imagine how that much survived.

Sainte Sulpice - the second largest church in Paris (made famous by Dan Brown in his book the Davinci Code) went on fire just last month.

Same guy also has the drone footage photo on his twitter so unless hes been duped this time by photoshop, I'd say he's not a chancer.

The video matches the view with the cross aswell with Spire damage just infront.

considering the video and the picture both show the mound of ash around the cross at the back and the embers on the roof, Id say they are real. There is a stone roof below the wooden roof I believe, with the spire breaking through the stone one in that section at the back I am assuming.

The drone footage showing extensive exterior damage but if the interior is very much intact that’s a good thing.
