Notre Dame Cathedral fire

(1/10) > >>

mako88sb:
Was busy for most of the morning and didn't find out about this till about an hour ago. My goodness what a terrible day. I've never been there but it's devastating thinking about all the historical, irreplaceable artifacts that have been lost. Hopefully the stone structure doesn't collapse. One person they interviewed said it could take a generation to restore it to i's former self. So far no word of any lives lost so hopefully it stays that way. 

Bryanpoprobson:
The building was being renovated but only to the tune of €4M the actual money required for the restoration was €160M the stone structure is actually eroding away. Those costs will pale into insignificance now sadly.

The Paris Firebrigade are saying the fire is impossible to put out and it may just have to burn out. Very sad,

bknight:
Sad, indeed.

apollo16uvc:
IT does appear the vaults right under the roof are holding up the burning Wood.


If they hold, internal damage may be limited.

There is hope.

Glom:
I think the fire is out now. At least, that's what my reading of a German headline says.
