God that’s horrible. Hate to see such an important historical building get destroyed.

What a shame. I really hope that’s an accident because if it wasn’t there isn’t enough torture for whoever did it.

I shit you not, if this Anti -Christian motivated I could see most of Europe going scrotched Earth to find culprit(s)

If anytime for such structure to go down would've been WWII, but it happens now

Paris really wasn't the scene of any battles during WWII.

Dang. It's pretty much all over the roof.

Well, at least they got a hose on it...

Took them nearly 2 hours. I guess it started right at rush hour.

I've never been there, but I thought that all the super valuable stuff got moved out after the French Revolution?
[Reply]

That happened with Versailles, but I don't know if it happened with Notre Dame. As a church-run place, I'd suspect that they avoided that fate.

I've been there, and it's got a lot of stuff in it. I have no idea of the historic importance of it, though - it was just lots of Jesuses and stuff so I didn't pay much attention.

The stained glass was impressive, and just the architecture in general. And both of those may be in trouble. At least the architecture is mostly stone.

I have to imagine the stained glass in the back half of the building is gone. The framing might be intact, but the glass itself would melt with that heat I bet.
