Notre Dame cathedral burns in massive fire
 

The Notre Dame cathedral in Paris France was the scene of a devastating fire yesterday.

It's still being investigated but my first thought was that this was an act of terrorism.

Have visited it several times over the years - sad.

To quote Quasimodo: "Sanctuary! Sanctuary!"

Sad....So on your next world tour be sure to stop by New York and see where the twin towers use to be and then on to Paris where the most magnificent church edifice stood. :(

Very tragic indeed. Norte Dame Cathedral represented so much more than a church that witnessed centuries of history. It is a statement of the transcendence of the soul into the heavens expressed by an integration of light and upward movements of architecture which required the buttresses we identify her with, a representation of the hierarchy of the relationship between man, the clergy, and God as well as how that changed, and mans place in Western Civilization in general.

Very sad to see this. Have visited many times the last three decades and so glad to have those memories.

They say it was not terrorism and by the looks of the scaffolding and known renovations going on someone with a welder or grinder probably fu*ked up big time.

My heart goes out to the French people who have suffered so many times in history.

There is hope.

And where this is fire,
the rumors abound..


PS: Marked Safe

Very sad day, I was fortunate to visit the church many moons ago. Hitler had bombed the church before, we shall see... correction, World War I...

A little more news:

Let's hope the French can determine the cause of the fire..
