I think it was reported that the building was evacuated before it got really bad.

Fire breaks out at Notre Dame cathedral, developing situation [Update: major structural collapse - Art and other Assets Saved] (See Staff Post)
- Thread starter Smokeymicpot
- Start date
I do not know, maybe Notre Dame also have another ceiling above the one that visitors see - a lot of cathedrals have this kind of 'fake' ornament ceiling with real one above it.
Everyone was evacuated when the fire started out. No one is - supposedly - inside the cathedral.
honestly im sorry for the loss for HumanERA. Ive never been to France, but seeing Notre Dame has me on the verge of tears.
I'm hoping that you do.
Even then, it'll never be exactly the same as it once was.
The roof and the spire collapsed. There a high chance the ceiling collapsed as well because of it.
Incredibly sad... reminds me of the ongoing debate about the Palace of Westminster's restoration.
These things happen sometimes. It's why we have to treasure the history that survives. :(

They are all over it the island the cathedral is on, but what do you want them to do when the fire started in the roof ?
Seeing RIGHT NOW firefighters on the cathedral.
To note - Notre-Dame was sacked and half-ruined in the French Revolution, and that was after decades of neglect. It wasn't until the 19th century that it was restored, rebuilt, and made into the icon it became.
Hugo fixated on architecture as the great book of human history. And tragedies like this are part of that history. Things will be lost, the building will never be the same, but, god willing, something equally beautiful can rise from the ashes.

Yeah, reminds me of watching the old Glasgow school of art that was made by Charles Rennie Mackintosh burn down (during rebuilding from a previous fire). Flames were so intense the firefighters couldn't get in for many hours. Horrible, works of art like this just turning to dust is so so sad.
Even if it had sprinklers, those arent going to help if the fire is on the roof above them.
Dude's gonna have to change his name and start a new life in the mountains.
I imagine they are not taken down, but down due to massive congestion of the mobile networks.
+1
This is gonna haunt that person for years, if not their entire life.
This is one of those cases where that person or group of people are gonna need to leave the country's and change their names.
Of course they can't be 100% of anything this early on, but that's no reason to jump to far-fetched conclusions.
We have a suspect.
I really hope though that the person, if it was an accident, is not treated harshly. Accidents are accidents simply.
They'll rebuild it and you'll get to see it in the coming years. It will always remain a part of Paris that will last forever
I feel like this isn't the best time to post something like this, lol.
Not the time or place. Go take your nihilist bullshit out of here.
The same man who said not raking leaves off forest floors causes forest fires.
The bit about the roof being oak covered in lead could be concerning. Lead is not superdangerous as it is, but fumes are a whole different thing. Inhalation is one of the ways it gets into your system.
Fuck off with this
Ish, that would explain the odd color of the smoke
That's been posted a million times already. No one gives a shit what Trump thinks.
This is a huge tragedy to art culture/history. The cathedral survived hundreds of years only for this to happen.
