Title: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: tikay on April 15, 2019, 06:38:51 PM Dramatic video from Paris, where the beautiful Notre Dame cathedral seems to be well ablaze. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47941794 Title: Notre Dame Cathedral on fire Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 15, 2019, 06:40:28 PM Initial footage suggests a huge fire. No indication as to whether anyone was inside at the time.
Terribly sad, either way, but I really hope there are no casualties and we're ultimately 'just' talking about the damage to a historic building. Title: Re: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: Sheriff Fatman on April 15, 2019, 06:46:56 PM I've merged the two posts, as Tikay and I both started threads at a similar time.

Title: Re: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: tikay on April 15, 2019, 08:54:33 PM Just seen a video on Twiitter showing the spire of the cathedral collapsing completely. Irreplaceable.

Title: Re: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: Marky147 on April 15, 2019, 09:48:26 PM Quasimodo is gonna have the hump when he finds out. Awful, but wp. The donald knows how to fix it, and will probably tell them they should have listened... Earlier today, Trump had said on Twitter, “Perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out. Must act quickly!” Title: Re: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: TightEnd on April 16, 2019, 10:31:26 AM some good photography out of the tragedy

Cathedral lovers across the world have been shocked by the news, even in Russia.

Amazing stuff.
Title: Re: Notre Dame ablaze Post by: nirvana on April 17, 2019, 06:54:38 AM Saw the first inevitable post today from people complaining how readily money is found to help the rich (the Catholic Church) when Grenfell, when poor people, when food banks etc.
Saw quite a few woke posts from caring left wing people about the tragedy of it all and standing with the French people etc. Won't be long till the same group start wailing on about the unfairness of the funding to fix it. Must be so tiring having to think the right things all the time. |
