News The Notre Dame is on fire

[Hektor]

Such a cool piece of French History.

 

[GhostTrick]

Merde :/

 

[NarohDethan]

It is so sad to witness history go down like this

 

[AxeVince]

French guy here.

We rebuilt her after WW2, we'll do it again.
But seeing Notre Dame burn hurts so much. Even if I'm 7000km away, I'm seeing a symbol of my native city crumble, slowly beeing eaten by flames.

yeah, there's basically zero chance they won't rebuild it

so at least there's that

still - sad, for sure

Damn, so sad. Good to know there's zero chance she won't be rebuilt though.

I do wonder which would be the first black metal group to use a photo for an album cover.

It seems the paintings are safe and all the metal statues but the stained glass and all the ornaments gone...

I don't know if the main bell has any significance to the French people but that is also in danger.

As I mentioned in the steam thread, this was pretty much home for me for three months, so seeing just how massive the fire damage is breaks my heart. Especially since I never went inside, thinking always I would do it "soon".

 

[prudis]

seems like it calmed downa nd people went in

 

[「Echo」]

Wow, quite sad to see this happen to such an iconic site. Is it too early to have determined the cause? I do hope it was not malicious!

Jokes aside, the French billionaire François-Henri Pinault is donating 100 million Euro to rebuild Notre Dame.

I'm glad they were able to contain the damage as well as they did. It seemed almost hopeless for a while. The images from above where hellish.

 

[Sir Guts]

Heartbreaking to see such a historical place go down like this

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

The damage doesn't seem to bad from the inside. I'm glad that it wasn't worse.

 

[prudis]

 

[EdwardTivrusky]

Woo Hoo!

 

[NarohDethan]

Glad that not everything was lost

 

[lashman]

Glad that not everything was lost

i'd say barely anything (that can't be rebuilt) WAS lost

This is probably relevant
