My guess would be a roofing torch.

This thing is hitting me quite a bit harder than I would have expected. I was in choir in college, and a majority of the friends I still keep in touch with were choir friends. Met my wife in choir even.

In 2003, we took a tour through the UK and France, and one of the things that they do at Notre Dame is allow college tours to perform a few songs there just during the day while people are visiting. For a 21-year-old kid, it was a pretty incredible experience, so seeing her up in flames is really tough.



(I'm the nerdy one.)

Heh...I was trying to joke about the fact that we were pretty much all a bunch of nerds.

But yeah. That's me. :-)

I just hate to see it as someone who appreciates history. It's such a beautiful building with so much to see and experience. I remember climbing the little staircase up the front towers and getting a great view of Paris while standing with the gargoyles.

It looks like the front towers haven't gone up, so I hope that part avoids damage. But that's not a big part of the building or contents.

I think there's a museum in there as well with a bunch of historical stuff, and there are pre-Roman excavations in the basement.

A clarification: A fire is currently burning at @notredameparis, not the University of Notre Dame. Our prayers are with all those involved.

All smokers on the job site are pointing fingers at each other. No one is gonna own up to that. Sorry boss, I accidentally burned one of the worlds most historic buildings to the ground.

It's not that big of a deal. Hardly some world treasure.
