Ricordo Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Used to be that a short walk across the bridge would get me to admire it. Terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 i wonder if Rudy got out in time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This is just horrible. I have been there many times and the sheer grandeur and scale of the building never stops being astounding. It took medieval craftsman 200 years to build the place. We should care. Notre Dame is history that survives, the history of not just Europe, but of America as well. That is where many of us came from. Meilleurs voeux à Paris. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamboolman Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Is the cause known yet? I hope it was not arson. Dam shame 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwalchmai Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 For some time now we've been saying that Western Civilization is under attack. This may be an example. The fact that YooRope brought their demise upon themselves does not make me feel any better about it. Once the West is gone the Earth will be a very dark place for a very long time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It will make no difference how this fire started. Right now the world is seeing one religion waging war against the rest of the worlds religions, and this latest event will add to the animosity, no matter what the cause. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 This is...pretty much home to me. My heart is hanging low right now. So many years of history. Such a wonderful place. They held Mass every day and special high masses. Wedding still took place in this special place. They can never rebuild it to be the same. It is the birth place of modern western music. polyphonic sound. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of renovations being done. They think that is where this started. Obviously nobody knows for sure yet. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janice6 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Many will wonder. It's in the government's best interests to make sure it's an accidental cause. Even if it isn't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Burn Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I'm not a Christian, but even so I recognize this occurred during the most significant time of year for Christianity, and that can't be coincidental. The indifference among people here who should know better in some ways makes me even sadder than the atrocity itself. Our educational failure has reached the point that we value our own civilization so little we don't care at all when a savage destroys something of such huge historical and symbolic significance and value. Its a tremendous blow to Western Civilization, symbolically the worst since 9/11/01 although thankfully not accompanied by loss of lives. If we shrug and accept it, we're lost. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
