Notre Dame is on fire!

The other Notre Dame. Damn. How shitty must you feel if you're the guy that started this fire? Assuming it's an accident.

RT, bro?

They had the best picture of the fire.

Here's a non-Russian source for confirmation.

Thoughts and water pressure.

Must. Act. Quickly.

Fucking president know-it-all.

Old, old dry wood, not easy to stop once it gets started. Water tankers may not be that crazy of an idea.
What a disaster
Spire collapses

Except like somebody replied to Trump, dumping 800,000 pounds (or whatever) of water on old dry wood would probably just collapse it.

That's why you dump 800,000 pounds of foam

thankful for our stable genius.

Yep. That's a fire alright.

So sad to see it go. Just a beautiful building. I couldn’t get enough of the exterior architecture. Walked all around it a couple of times, taking it all in. Never got inside. The lines were ain’t nobody got time for that long, but I was content to soak up everything on the outside.

yep - in a beautiful part of the city - watching the video is heartbreaking.

Wouldn't want to be their insurance company.

Sad

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...

There the libs go again, twisting the numbers.  '800,000 pounds!" as if it would all hit the same place at the same time.  Truth is, most large firefighting aircraft can only drop maybe 20,000# of water/retardant at a time.  

besides...CNN themselves said the French didn't have any water tankers available.

The backside courtyard was amazing and there was no one there. Everyone is queued up around front waiting to get in. I'm glad we (and by we I mean my wife) waited and we to the top a few years ago.

Fuckin libs amirite.

For real though the president is an old man with a twitter account and arguing the specifics of these things that he obviously didn’t think about before he wrote it is pretty silly my man.

I made up the 800,000. I like exaggerating on the internet.

Which they later corrected after French officials told them they had the ability but....wait for it...air drops would have collapsed the structure.

Uh, the structure collapsed without the water

Maybe they thought there was something to save at the time rather than immediately doom the structure to collapse. CNN, specifically Chris Cuomo, was just speculating when he said the French didn’t have the ability.

On a different note, Chris Cuomo is absolutely horrible. Terrible to listen to.

Sad day. Know someone that was just there yesterday

That’s really cool. I couldn’t get enough of the gargoyles. I do wish we’d gone back and waited, mostly because I love old churches and all the human work put into making them special—the paintings, wood- and stone work is mind bottling.

I wish GreenWay was this passionate about America.

How does a large old structure possibly survive a fire without water to help put it out? If in-fact the French had the ability to drop water/retardant but didn't, they doomed the place. Yet another surrender by France.

I think they used water, just not dropped from above.

What are you, some kind of fire master? Are you an expert in all things fire now?

Holy fucking shit. This country is fucked. The fact that one side can't see that their emperor God with no clothes could possibly be wrong is not a good sign.
Trump is a moron, the fact people defend anything he does, regardless of how wrong it is. Like staring into an eclipse (2 pages of defending why that's in fact genius coming up) is asinine.
Blame the French and Mexican immigrants on Notre Dame going up in flames.
