    Re: Notre Dame Cathedral is burning down...

    Imagine being hired to renovate an 800+ year old cathedral and burning it down instead.

          This sucks

          I do find it ironic however that the building survives ~600 years being lit by candle light, but then burns down in modern times... Truly a loss... I'm amazed that a structure of that size/scope was built in the 1200's...

                    The irony of you telling Flaggy to stop.

                    Stop it- a world icon has burned down.

                      Thanks keep for the map link. And Joe, I only have BBC in SD but was able to catch a few minutes.

                      But, the Beeb says that the know that they were able to save the walls for now, which is great news considering the support timbers were stabilized by the famous roof design.

                      Also, theres just something about learning to just shut up and let the news show itself like the BBC did that we could use in our media. Less talking heads talking for the sake of talking.

                              No one's going to complain about introducing politics and racism into a thread about a tragedy? Guess that only applies to sports.

                              When my mother told me the news that "Notre Dame is on fire" I wondered why a blaze in South Bend was national news. Oh...THAT Notre Dame...

                              I'm watching the live news feed from France 24 and I've rarely heard so much grief and sadness in the reporter's voices. They usually suppress those emotions but not tonight.

                                Do you blame them for being sad? Notre Dame is, by street coordination, the center of the city.
