Stay safe

 

[EvilChameleon]

It looks like work is being done. Perhaps someone left something lying around they shouldn't have?

 

[denpanosekai]

Oh no. oh shit.

 

[Smokeymicpot]

 

[DJ_Lae]

Shit. Hopefully the damage doesn't end up too bad.

 

[Snarfington]

Oh no. This is an utter tragedy if it gets too out of hand. Even still.

 

[Deleted member 15428]

The restoration is gonna cost some nice sum

 

[Deleted member 10795]

Fucking hell imagine being responsible for that.

Was there last year. Paris gets a bad rep but it's a beautiful city and Notre Dame is stunning. Hopefully it's salvageable.

 

[Maquiladora]

Wow that looks bad.

 

[TheYanger]

Holy shit :( That's a bad looking fire.

 

[DarKaoZ]

Oh god, hopefully they can save the structure, it would be horrible to lose this historical architectural piece.

 

[FreezePeach]

Thats a pretty huge loss. Looks bad.

Notre Dame is 855 years-old, I think she'll be alright.

Edit: I was wrong.

$5 says whatever caused it was the stupidest and most avoidable thing ever.

 

[Reckheim]

Terrible, that building is a treasure.

 

[PSqueak]

Judge Frollo is at it again.

But seriously, i hope they can put it out with minimum damage to the building and the populace.

 

[Raww Le Klueze]

Don't worry, God will surely save it, no need for any fire fighters.

 

[WedgeX]

Hopefully everything turns out fine.

Aren't there a ton of candles inside?

[Lant_War]

All according to God's plan, no?

 

[requiem]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That building is one of Europe's most stunning and enduring architectural works. :(

 

[Pedrito]

It looks horrific on TV and it's getting worse. Tragic.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Well shit. I guess I can cross that off the bucket list

 

[UnluckyKate]

That looks immense... The entire nef might collapse...

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Wow. That looks like a potential total loss.

 

[Vilix]

Just terrible. CNN is reporting the fire is out of control. 😕

 

[Sabin]

I hope it won't destroy the building that much but from the few twitter videos the fire is spreading really quick which is pretty bad.

I think you're massively underestimating the impact of a fire like that. The flames look huge.
