Where you watching that Bob, Woolwich Odeon?bobmunro said:SomervilleAddick said: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.
Based on this drone picture, it sadly looks lost.4 -
Just been on Facebook, a friend of mine was there 3 days ago (celebrating her 50th in Paris) and comparing her age with the age of the cathedral

Seen a few renovations catch fire over the years. Too much flammable gets stored close by. Just hope doesn’t happen to the Clock (Elizabeth) Tower.0

Notre-Dame's main structure is "saved and preserved" after fire

He needs offing.

What on earth is “practical” about flying water tankers?

Oh right. I'm sure the French fire service hadn't thought about putting water on the fire. Thanks Donald.
The fact is, you dump tons of water on a building from the air and you're likely to cause even more damage to the building. Luckily the French fire services knew that, being the professional fire fighters that they are.

It just breaks my heart. It's such an incredible building. I've only spent a few days in Paris but I made sure to spend at least an hour there just sitting and taking it in every day. I genuinely can't think of another historic building I'd have such a strong reaction to.1

What on earth is “practical” about flying water tankers?As someone who experienced massive fires up close in Sonoma in 2017, he is even more clueless than that. Helicopters drop water. Most "tankers" drop fire retardant, not water. Copters can drop in specific spots. Tankers are not accurate and drop over large swaths of land to stop fire from spreading. Imagine this over Notre Dame.

This pic shows how much of the interior was affected.

From the latest photos of inside it looks like the above pictures are actually showing the structure of the roof on fire rather than the actual inside.2

Le Fire francais would probably agree a water based solution will work better than thoughts and prayers.Off_it said:smudge7946 said:

Not half as bad as feared last night. Inside virtually untouched and majority of artefacts are safe. Roof, spire and windows lost but main structure survives.4

Now let me see.... who would be angry enough at France and the EU to do something like this? Especially as they’ve been threatening civil disorder if they don’t get what they think was promised?2

It's been burnt down once before and a better one put in its place. You'd hope the same would happen if it went up in flames again.Off_it said:To be fair, if that was St Paul's I would be in tears right now.0 -
Awful pictures. After surviving unscathed from all those Nazi bombs during WWII, it's now destroyed by fire.

Look at the Cutty Sark. They will rebuild it. yes it won't be quite the same, but it will look the same. Most important thing is nobody died.4

Very few Nazi bombs dropped on Paris, more British and American ones, and most of both were on working-class, industrial areas. Certainly, Hitler wanted his general in charge of the city in '44 to burn it before leaving it for the advancing allies but the bloke had too much good sense and didn't.Addickted said:Awful pictures.

Given how huge that fire was, it's a hell of an effort from the French fire brigade to save the main structure and the towers.
Hopefully means they can rebuild.6
