Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris

bobbyss · 15-04-2019 7:20pm

Was flicking between BBC News and RTE and didn't see any mention of it on RTE. I don't think it was even MENTIONED on the main headlines closing out at 7. Wonder why.

It does not take a genius to work out who is responsible for this.

And it doesn't take a genius to work out what kind of brain comes out with comments like that. Seriously man how much in your own bubble do you have to be to be like you?

I fear for France if those rumours are true.

We need to take a deep breath and wait for the truth to emerge on this.

You're definitely not spreading these rumours on twitter through your many accounts are you?

Noveight · 15-04-2019 7:23pm

Terribly disappointing.

One of the most incredible pieces of architecture in the world. Visited Paris 2 years ago and loved the place.

Cornerstone set in 1163. Burned in 2019. A historic and tragic day.

LirW · 15-04-2019 7:23pm

Absolutely tragic.

The Notre Dame is undergoing a very extensive restoration at the moment. With a lot of welding, temporary electrics and probably cigarettes around this is unfortunately a risk and it could very well be that there's nothing sinister behind this fire but simple carelessness.

Was a grand auld thread till the fvckwits found their way in.

Zorya · 15-04-2019 7:23pm

Most likely some construction accident. Feel sorry for whatever workers might have made one tiny slip up that started a conflagration.

MarkY91 · 15-04-2019 7:23pm

Was on top of it about this time last year. So much wood around. Wooden stairs and holdings etc. I can see why it went up in a blaze. How could it happen though?

Rumours on Twitter? You mean uninformed individuals jumping to a range of conclusions, right?

Construction accident apparently, really sad

Edit: It's a Sunday though, nobody works in France on Sundays

Wow Twitter, Why wait for a full forensic investigation by trained, experienced Fire Engineers for the cause, when we have twitter.

It lasted longer than normal. Those useless pondwaders probably blame muslims if they stub their toe in the morning. Pathetic adult children.

A beautiful cathedral, very saddening. Hopefully not too much damage to the medieval sections and statues.

Apparently the firemen can’t get to a lot of the flames with their water hoses at present

Exactly so no one would notice the battery fir the power tool that’s charging and glowing white hot

peddlelies · 15-04-2019 7:29pm

There's been a lot of arson attacks on Churches in France this year. According to this article there's been 47 attacks on Churches and religious sites in February alone. Given the figures it's understandable why there may be suspicion surrounding this incident, though as of now, it's been reported as an accident.

The Chief of their Fire Service, sure works fast writing complete assesment reports. The fire isn't out yet and it's already being classed as an accident?

Let's wait a few days, for their lead Inspector to enter safely, and do preliminary site and causation inspection at the very least.

Also, is it not Monday 15th Apr in France today? They may be an hour or so ahead time-wise, not a full day behind.

15-04-2019 7:35pm

Big questions around why it took some long for the firefighters to respond

FFS. People like you are just hoping for it to be a terrorist attack, it's a real wet dream for you salivating at the thought.

15-04-2019 7:36pm

Nothing will remain from the wooden frame - spokesperson for Notre Dame just now.

lawred2 · 15-04-2019 7:36pm

How the f**k was someone reminded of the attacks in Norway?

Maybe.....just maybe.... a workman reported to him how the fire started as he witnessed it?

Hope no one dies but great to see such a building in flames. People all over the world Crying because an old building burnt. Apes

Very edgy of you, whats your next "controversial" post going to be?

McMurphy · 15-04-2019 7:40pm

Terrible news, I was lucky enough to attend a mass there in November on a Saturday evening.

Stunning place. Will be sad if it's completely devastated, and unfortunately going by the pics I've seen so far, it looks like it is.

thomil · 15-04-2019 7:40pm

I just hope the scaffolding around the collapsed tower holds on. If that collapsed into the structure, it could do some real damage to the stone work.

Boards is an utter cesspit and this thread is proof of that.

A tragic and historic day. What an utterly terrible loss.
