Horrible to see. In not religious but it was an incredibly beautiful building, there's a lot of history going up in smoke.0

this is what I saw. Quite significant restoration job. I believe that's the tower that no longer stands.

I am guessing they stayed open during the renovation and kept all the art there in order to keep tourist money coming in? I suspect those who made that decision might be out of a job, shortly.

Wow that giant hole in the scaffolding where the fire is still raging is scary looking.

That man boils my piss.Imagine if the French President had tweeted a message telling the American what to do when the twin towers were on fire.
He needs offing.

Really sad. So often it seems to happen when restoration work is going on0

All the artwork that is gone. A Paris official says there was priceless artwork in the spire that collapsed. They charge £8 to enter that spire. That spire is within the scaffolding area. You think they would have removed that artwork. I think once this is looked into, whoever made the decision to keep that artwork in there during the renovation will be out of a job.

Where is it you live again?

I thought they were getting a grip on this. Views from above make it look even worse that earlier. I really hope those firefighters stay clear of that scaffolding.

Absolutely awful.An truly iconic building, not just for Paris but for the world. I hope they can save it, or most of it anyway.4

Imagine how much it will cost to redo it, and to the detail it originally was0

Horrendous scenes, hope they can get this extinguished pronto before any more of our history/culture/art is destroyed.0

Watching it unfold on TV in a hotel at the moment on a French channel - it's devastating for them. The French authorities are saying they're not sure if the cathedral can be saved. Hope as much can be done as possible for such an iconic historical building.0

Heartbreaking.0

Just now on CNBC: “Ministry officials say they may not be able to save the cathedral”

Gutted. Mrs Plum and I visited the wonderful place only last year.0

I’ve always wondered how it much have looked hundreds of years ago when it dominated the landscape. Within the interior, the first thing I think of is actually that organ.0

I haven’t seen all the footage but I’m not very hopeful, I think it’s gone.0

Have very fond memories of Paris, me and my wife had our first holiday together there, and in August 2017 (when this quite frankly awful pic of us was taken) I proposed to her in the wonderful city, actually pretty emotional about it, I can't begin to imagine how awful it feels for Parisians who have grown up there, walking past it every day on their commute

At best it will be a shell, as the interior was all wood, but you’ve got to expect severe structural damage after a blaze like this.
I’m amazed that scaffolding is still standing.1 -
Shocking, heartbreaking. A massive loss to the French and anyone who has ever been there and loves that cathedral.0

An amazing building over 600 years old - a tragedy to see all this history being destroyed.1

BREAKING NEWS : Police say they ain’t sure how the fire started , but they have a hunch.
I’ll get my coat too....18 -

Based on this drone picture, it sadly looks lost.
