I hope the cathedral will be salvaged...I'm sure it went through worse....ohno:ohno:ohno:ohno:

Heartbreaking!:(

I had the tremendous pleasure of touring Norte Dame Cathedral back in the 1980s while visiting Paris; such a stunning landmark and an enormous part of French history. Just think, the cathedral survived the French Revolution, but here it is today, in flames :(

If it gets demolished...which I'm afraid it will be...there's gonna be a lot of protests...

It won't be demolished, but the roof has completely gone.

It looks like Notre Dame Cathedral may take longer to be renovated than planned...there should be a new bell tower to reach 2019 feet...it may be taller than the Eiffel Tower.

I wonder what Pope Francis I will say?

This is beyond heartbreaking. One of my fondest memories of Paris is hanging out in front of the Notre Dame well after dark. Almost no one was around and there was a full moon out that night. It was incredibly serene.

This picture was taken on my first trip to Paris in the Fall of 2014.

It was so sad to watch it burning. :( That building has seen so much history.

At least they were able to save some walls and the two front towers. Hopefully they can rebuild the roof.

Horrible. It sadden my day. My Uncle was married there back in the late fifties.

The fire has been fully doused:

A new spire is envisaged, which always did seem to me rather a strange appendage. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/france-announces-competition-to-rebuild-notre-dames-spire/ar-BBW1S2M?ocid=spartanntp

Investigators are saying that the fire was accidental.

Not the wisest move for someone whose career relies on espousing Christian values. https://www.aol.com/article/entertainment/2019/04/17/ted-cruz-slammed-for-mocking-disneys-dollar5m-pledge-to-rebuild-notre-dame-how-much-did-you-donate/23713699/

There's a team effort to save the Notre Dame relic:

Strangely enough, I passed by Notre-Dame but still never saw it when I was in Paris in 2000. My sister and I were on a boat cruise on the Seine, and we just had the bad luck to be on the wrong side of the boat twice.
