Notre-Dame cathedral is burning

Really bad stuff. Seems very strange that they haven't updated with modern fire protection methods over the years. Video I saw showed it nearly engulfed and no water being sprayed on it. Made it through 2 world wars and a fire takes it down.  A bad day for sure.

This is horrible. My wife and I visted the Prague castle last week which dates back to 870. You really can't appreciate buildings this old until you see it in person. I have no idea how they built something so amazing back then. 

Really sad to hear this.

A devastating loss for not only the people of France, but the entire world. A beautiful example of hand-built architecture and the capabilities of man.

Capabilities sorely lacking in many current "tradesmen". Pride in your work seems to be a dying thing.

It is a terrible loss for the whole world but they are promising to rebuild. They can rebuild the building but not the history behind it.

I find it strange that the fire began in the most unaccessable area of the Catheral for fire men to get to. Directly in the center of the structure. They believe it was an electrical fire and not arson........JMHO
