I know I've been over-dramatic about shit, but it's hard not to see this as a symbol of civilization going up in flames.

Jesus my husband just called to tell me! Honestly feel like crying

Awful. We were lucky enough to tour it in 2013 and it was stunning. Such a horrible loss; irreplaceable.

Looks like a total loss. Beyond sad :( It even survived wars!

Bomb it with water tankers - hurry!

Right? What a real president says: "Mrs. Trump and I share the horror and prayers of every Frenchman and Frenchwoman as we witness the burning of the Cathedral of Notre Dame, home to some of the world's noblest art and itself an enduring symbol of the best aspirations of humankind. I've called President Macron and Archbishop Aupetit and shared with them the prayers and solidarity of the American people, and I've assured them that we stand ready to assist, as we always stand by our friends amidst their greatest challenges and tragedies.” What our president says: “Parisians should have raked their cathedrals like the Norwegians do.” #expertise

Paris will get more sympathy from our past Presidents than this one. I can totally see Jimmy Carter going over to personally help rebuild if he were still up to it

Latest reports seems to indicate that the interior is in remarkably good condtion even the the roof was torched.

Thanks to quick thinking from the staff/firefighters, a bunch of the relics and stained glass was apparently removed/kept intact.

I like to think they had an art-evacuation plan in place. And a don't-bomb-out-the-walls-with-water-tankers plan.

If you scroll quickly through my facebook feed, it looks like everyone I know is there right now. Some of them got younger.

lots and lots of people are posting photos, often from years back, of either notre dame itself, or of themselves standing near to notre dame.

you could certainly scan them, or, worst case, take a photo of them with your cell....

Ceetar Apr 16 2019 01:23 PM Re: Notre-Dame de Paris

sure, If I knew where they were. (I knew they weren't at work with me yesterday)
