So much for the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris.
The spire has collapsed, and it's still burning.
Oddly, other than lamenting the loss of historic architecture, I don't feel bad about a church burning down. Willing to bet it is going to be attributed to
the construction that was underway.

Think of it not as a "religious" building. But as a testament to the skill of the masons and carpenters who built it 850 years ago. I hate seeing historic sites,archaeological sites, libraries, monuments, etc destroyed, either by natural causes, or human ignorance!

It's just "stuff".
Like I've said, several times, I hold very little sentimentality over such things.
Tragic!

We have very different definitions of what is "tragic" and what is not.
Then again, I'm not terribly sentimental about buildings.
I saw it a number of years ago and it is/was impressive architecture
@BudFrank That's nice and all, but it's just a building.
Like I said before, I'm not terribly sentimental about buildings.
What was really making me laugh/pissing me off, was all the talk about saving the "artifacts".
Like they actually had a piece of real wood from
Christ's cross. Religious "relics" are a fucking joke.
