I for one won't be cheering them on risking their lives if they go into that burning building. I'd rather they all get home to their families safe and sound.I think you're underestimating your fellow humans.

Perhaps to allow people to come together and rebuild?Why am I a lunatic? By my gently questioning and parodying a conundrum presented to a believer - i.e. why their god would allow a building built for him to burn down?.
Sad newsJust been on sky news there a fire fighter been seriously injured apparently
Aye. It's not like he started this one with a lightning bolt. That I could understand as a sign of his approval*.Why am I a lunatic? By my gently questioning and parodying a conundrum presented to a believer - i.e. why their god would allow a building built for him to burn down?
Dear me.
But all of the other off piste comments are perfectly acceptable to you? Interesting.
I thought you said you were f***ing off?Sad news
Bloody hell; down to a shell.
It’s been mentioned on this thread about individualism being the undoing of our society, that’s true, but by coming together as a people we can achieve great things.
is this post not why many of us are here? Wading through endless pics, rules, wads, madones, herrings etc...... Have the largest of likesIt has stood for a multitude of different things over nearly a millennium. Ignoring everything else that has changed around it over that time-politics, culture, war, peace-even if you just examined the change in the concept of Church itself that has happened in the past 900 years it’s been there, what it’s stood for, what it’s opposed, at what point, who, why etc, that’s a big deal.
And look at when it was built and built upon, and how, and why, and with what tools and knowledge etc. It’s absolutely arguable that for all our advances in construction and technology, there will never again be a building built which matches it’s beauty and iconic stature in all that remains of our species history.
The erosion or destruction of anything that has seen humanity in all its scope, evil, dreadful, beautiful and glorious all at once, for a very long period of time, is a profound loss. It is a reminder that some (most) things are bigger than us and our mortality. We share in a massive and complex narrative for a mere fraction of time. Notre Dame and buildings like it speak to a truth of existence that no one life ever can.
And now my newly born nephew will never get to visit it like I have. It’s gone. Survived countless revolutions, wars, World War f***ing 2, now just snuffsd out on a Monday. Something as seemingly immortal as that. It’s a very existential moment.
Very well said sir!It has stood for a multitude of different things over nearly a millennium.

At least the scaffolders did a good job
What's it to you gobshite? You already butted on my postings to another poster. All i said was it was sad news. It's hardly trying to reignite any disagreement on here. Wind your neck inI thought you said you were f***ing off?

Bloody hell; down to a shell.
@Teed get thy tackle back out marra. Your the only survivor of the original chippy crewUnfortunately, it’s wholly expected. A cellulosic fire will continue to spread until there is no fuel left to burn. There will literally be stonework left.
They'll just rebuild it.Bloody hell; down to a shell.

Apparently the structures in the belfries that hold up the bells are wooden, and the firefighters thing they may have knocked the fire back enough that at least one of them is safe. So perhaps they are gaining the upper hand.
