Heartbreaking. I hope this looks worse than it actually is.

Was gonna say that hopefully it weren't too serious, but having see the images, it don't look good. Hope no one is hurt......0

Hope they can get the flames under control, but will be very difficult with a building that size. Terrible.0

Awful. So many childhood memories for me.

Many museums in Europe are closed on Mondays, but not sure if Notre Dame is included in this. Hopefully it was and no one was on the rooftop viewing platformsChizz said:

Very sad. The spire now collapsed and fire in the bell tower0

Radio5 having a fit about it.0

This is so sad. There was extensive scaffolding around the building so it's not hard to see how this has quickly got out of hand0

A couple of French on my Facebook are sharing links blaming Macron for not acting sooner. Still be reported it's linked to the renovations, but seems a mighty coincidence thoughValleyGary said:

So the fire department are not allowed to put out fires unless he gives the okay? LOL. Seems like many French want to blame him for a rainy day.i_b_b_o_r_g said:

In response to your point though, I think they're blaming the Macron government for not addressing the speight of attacks on ancient buildings0

To be fair, if that was St Paul's I would be in tears right now.

Me too, nothing to do with religion, but the 850 years of history, gone9

Is there a chance this is arson?i_b_b_o_r_g said:In response to your point though, I think they're blaming the Macron government for not addressing the speight of attacks on ancient buildings0 -
Junior interior minister has said that there appear to be no casualties, thankfully.5

Notre Dame was being renovated and that seems to be where it broke out so I don't suspect foul play. Absolutely heartbreaking. Centuries of art, history, and culture being burned away 3
