Is anyone else shocked it took firefighters 30 minutes to get there and another hour to get the water going? I don’t know, it just seems like this scenario would’ve been the subject of drills and a majorly sophisticated fire plan.

I hope they make it a modern iteration of the classic notre dame. Make it a smart cathedral.

Yeah well - it’s all about competition these days.

Trump can have rebuilt in 6 months. No joke

The spire needs to be as original as possible in every aspect.

May God rid France of the invasion macron invited in.

While it is a travesty what happened, I am excited to see the outcome of the world's best architects to battle over this and their rendition of what the cathedral should be.

My mom tried to pull this with a 'room cleaning competition' with my brothers.

The restoration company just announced no works or hot sources at the time of fire. Maybe do some real journalism instead of writing fluff pieces?

Macron is a disaster for France in all levels. He should resign for failing to protect France.

he's doing spec work on the cathedral of notre dame? he's not just tapping the master like you're free you can go to work now
