A shame.
News so far, seems to be reported nobody died. Hopefully true.

It took 200 years to build and hours to render in to a shell so sad to see. I visited it in 1966, now they are evacuating the rest of the island where the Notre Dame is.

A bit premature to start that kind of speculation, Crane. So far they think it's related to the renovation work that was being done. We may never know for sure, considering the intensity of the fire. Right now my biggest question is how they're going to remove that scaffolding. It must be compromised. I'm surprised it didn't collapse.
SALUTE TO ALL!

CATHOLIC CHURCHES ARE BEING DESECRATED ACROSS FRANCE—AND OFFICIALS DON’T KNOW WHY
Wild guess???
The "princes of the church" have been abusing children for entertainment for centuries. Might just deserve some payback, either Karma or a pissed off individual.
I am sorry about the damage to Notre Dame, and it's historical treasures, regardless of the whacko wierdos in that little slum in Rome....think about it. Not only in the context of celibacy in the FIRST century, but lets slow forward it to the Twenty First Century.
That’s enough. Community Hall is not the place to air your political views or opinions. Don’t do it again.
I am truly sad I never got to see the Cathedral.
Maybe build a cube this time?

Disheartening news. Looking across the Seine River towards Notre Dame should be on everyone's "Parisian routine". It was always on mine, particularly in the evening !
There is no doubt the cathedral will be rebuilt, while most of the most valuable relics have apparently been moved right on time. Some are already raising concerns on the eventual rebuilt and its acoustic. A choral performed at Notre Dame may never sound the same ever again :-/ Not much news about the "Le Grand Orgue de Notre Dame". Has it survived the fire ? Probably not. It was majestic.
Cheers anyway, Slug

Saw photos of the main hall this morning. Surprised to see as much remaining as there was (compared to other cathedral fire photos I've seen). The rear area looked like a good bit of water and smoke damage, but hopefully plenty of room to salvage a good bit of antiquity, instead of it's total loss.

Saw it in '77. Really sad about this. The stained glass windows were/ are exceptional.
