Off Topic - Notre Dame is burning

[Uwek]

One of the most important buildings in France, for Paris I guess the most important one
Notre Dame
is burning since three hours

There is the possibility, that the complete building will be destroyed

The small tower already collapsed, fire is already in the North tower

Our thoughts are today with the french people

Wow...What a tragedy...

THIS IS SIMPLY A DISASTER NOT JUST FOR PARIS AND FRANCE BUT THE WORLD AT LARGE, THIS IS LIKE DESTROING ONE OF MICHANGELOS WORKS IT MUST BE REBUILT, and the people responsible should be punished severly, this is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. Don

Heartbreaking to see, but also fantastic to see the resolve of the French people.
Already 300 million Euros pledged by two billionaires for the rebuild!

What a terrible accident. Some solace that many artifacts were already removed due to repair project already underway. Thankfully the firefighters were able to save the two bell towers. Incredible to see the outreach and support from all over the world. It’s good to see the spirit this building stands for in action.

Preliminary reports suggest the fire was accidental, related to the repair work being done. No evidence for arson or terrorism.

There are a lot of photos in the web showing the fire and the disaster.

I took some out to show the extreme dimension, what happened here

before




with this areal view we can see, that the fire was completely over the complete length of the church




We will hear and read in the next days, weeks and month much more about the real damage, but I guess, that there is not much more existing than the stone.

Жаль красивая была церковь . Я так и не успел ее увидеть ...

Uwek: translation by google (Jim, maybe you correct if necessary):
Sorry beautiful was the church. I did not have time to see her ...

That reconstructions of buildings like churches are possible, was already proven in the past.

A very good example is the "Frauenkirche" in the city of Dresden.

Destroyed in the second worldwar - the ruins were over centuries a monument

before the war


in 1965




Secured structural fragments stored and catalogued, September 1999






It will take a long time, but I think, especially because there will be the money and the wish, that they will reconstruct Notre Dame

Jim, maybe you correct if necessary)

Correction is not necessary, thank you.
