Hunchback of Notre Dame

The roof already collapsed you utter mong

If you don’t put out the fire, it burns and collapses like it just did lmfao. Most of the water evaporates anyway based retard.

Classic French attitude

In this case, it's about containing the fire, anything that's already burnt is pretty much a write off. It looks like because of poor response time and lack of resources this fire got a lot bigger and more damaging than it could have been

Better just let a raging fire destroy one of your most sacred landmarks then.

is basically the whole of these cathedrals only propped up by gravity i.e. arches? sounds like it's fucked desu

soooo the muslims burned it right? can't have any christian history anyway, notre dame should have been converted into a mosque (like hagia sophia)

Toxic white male spotted! Fire!

Frogs were probably on strike as usual

I don't have a dog in any ideological fights, but I honestly hope a muzzie did the deed because this will then become a big entertaining happening instead of just another footnote in the millennia old history of the french being blatantly retarded and incompetent

Well good thing the fire won't collapse the building. oh wait...

heh

the fire made the roof collapse but dumping water on the arches seems like a sure way to make the whole back collapse

Top notch post.

No way this wasn't the doing of a sand nigger. The amount of attacks on churches in France in the past years by sand niggers or regular niggers that adopted that heathen religion has risen each year.

>Prometheus was the oldest known non-clonal organism, a Great Basin bristlecone pine tree growing near the tree line on Wheeler Peak in eastern Nevada, United States.

France's Macroncanceledhis planned address to the nation due to 'terrible fire' at Notre Dame cathedral:

Macron was set to hold a large press conference at the Elysee palace on Monday. The president was expected to unveil a set of measures for the country in response to the Yellow Vest protest, which have been rocking the country for the past few months.

Macron was set to hold a large press conference at the Elysee Palace on Monday. The president was expected to unveil a set of measures for the country in response to the Yellow Vest protests, which have been rocking the country for the past few months.

The said measures are believed to be based on the results of the"great national debate,"held by the government in an attempt to funnel protest from the streets into a discussion instead. "We have decided to transform anger into solutions," Macron wrote on Twitter, announcing the press conference. "For months, we listened. Tomorrow, I will answer."

The grand unveiling of the government's measures, however, was marred by the massive fire at the iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which caught fire shortly before the president's address. Citing the "terrible fire," Macron scrapped the event.

Macron is expected to arrive at the scene shortly, according to Elysee officials. Meanwhile, the cathedral's spire and roof have partially collapsed.

Could there be anything more symbolic than the burning down of one of France's oldest icons?

UPDATES 20:45 CET

The spire and entire roof have collapsed. It's the worst damage to the cathedral in all its 9 centuries. It was partially destroyed by fire (deliberately) during the 1789 revolution, though not this badly. Still, it took about 100 years to restore it...

Comments on French social media indicate that people - besides being distraught about this - are highly suspicious of foul play

Nothing to see here.

Pour toi

religion of peace

This is Satan's doing. The image of one of the most prolific churches in the world on fire will be burned into the subconscious minds of the masses, setting into motion the prophetic destruction of all religion and the final phase.

arches, buttresses, flying butresses, vaulting. Assuming all that is stone and doesn't get hot enough to crack then the building should be fine. It'll be the non-stone parts of the building that are fucked.

Roman Catholic churches have increasingly come under attack in France, a country so long identified with Christianity that it used to be called "the eldest daughter of the church."

A recent fire at St. Sulpice, the second-largest church in Paris, has shed light on a trend that has become commonplace in many smaller towns.

"Who has heard of the sacking of the monastery of Saint Jean des Balmes in Aveyron? Of those teenagers who urinated into the holy water font of the church at Villeneuve de Berg in Ardèche?" the Paris daily Le Figaro asked last week in an article highlighting some of the lesser-known profanations around the country this month.

Incidents such as these get a brief mention in the press, complete with quotes from Catholics shocked at the sight of scattered hosts or beheaded statues, and sometimes a short video clip on national television.

But apart from official denunciations of individual attacks, Catholic leaders in France have refrained from dramatizing what they say is a worrying trend.

The sharpest reactions have come from conservative politicians, including two National Assembly members who have called for a parliamentary inquiry into "the multiplication of anti-Christian acts."

"The images of flames in Saint Sulpice church this weekend are one more example of the violence committed against Catholics," Philippe Gosselin and Annie Genevard said, referring to the blaze in an edifice known to moviegoers around the world as the church in the film version of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code.

Among attacks on churches in February, a cross of human excrement was found in the southern city of Nimes, a statue of Mary was smashed in a Paris suburb and a statue of Jesus decapitated in an Atlantic seaside resort with the very Christian name of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie (St. Giles, Cross of Life).

The attacks on Catholic churches and the muted reactions to them reflect the complex role France's once dominant faith plays

Woah... we truly, live in a society....

I was legit a firefighter EMT at a Nat Gas refinery. Frogs could have used fucking foam used for gasoline and oil fires which is lighter and wouldnt damage the structure. Literally firetrucks come EQUIPPED FOR IT

Hourly reminder that FDNY or countless other FDs from around the country could have put out the Notre Dame fire 15 minutes after the call came in and saved the building.

People love to shit on the US for caring about law enforcement/emergency response too much but when something like this happens it shows how fuckin inept and slow everybody else is compared to the US.

>mocking the higher powers so blatantly
Not even religious, but this is just retarded. Someone or something is not gonna like this, quite clearly churches of this stature have been turned into highly potent centers of paranormal matter over the years and destroying one will release god knows what.

I doubt they'd have got it over the walls. Foam doesn't travel as well (at least that's what I remember when I did fire training for ships).

Stop phoneposting.
