It looks bad. Awful. Reports are suggesting it was started by an accident during ongoing renovation work on the building (there's quite a lot of scaffolding around the structure).

sadj Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Why is there a “Pray for Paris” thing going on? The cultural to the world most certainly and I suppose to Paris economic aspect of it is tragic but not a Pray for Paris hashtag! There was a French lad on sky news said it burned with an end of the world yellow as the iron spire fell (I know it wasn’t an iron spire) They are saying they aren’t sure they can stop it spreading to the second tower. Hopefully they manage. Such an iconic beautiful building. The spire falling is up there with the WTC collapse if not more iconic. They have also said the internal part of the Cathedral is all alight and nothing in their opinion will be saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
