Massive Fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris

[Bezkoshtovnya]

Modern construction equipment (the tools in question in this instance) requires electricity and involves friction which generates heat as they are being used, so yes.

Actually, no since I didn't ask a question.
And it could very well have been a cigarette, nevertheless. Or in fact, even been a combination of the both.

You....did ask a question...namely, if hot tools are required in construction, in this case of the Notre Dame cathedral, which I responded with yes as the modern tools required to do so run on electricity and generate friction. Your original point was that it couldn't be tools because they wouldn't use tools that are not around flammable materials, which is not true. It could have been a cigarette. But that was not the original point you were trying to make.

It's a sad fire. Though, at least the rose windows, great pieces of medieval srarchitecture, are still intact.

[Hatterleigh]

That is one of the buildings I would have wanted to see if I ever went to Europe, one of the greatest pieces of architecture in all of Europe. Hopefully it is rebuilt well and in good time

But some gods are older than 13.8 billion years

Arent they retired by now? You would think a God could get a better deal.

God doesn't need to retire, he can do everything without an ounce of effort

So why did he need to rest on the 7th day? Things obviously weren't perfect.

Paperwork pileup.

Fucking HR. They ruin everything.

I’d agree with you but I don’t want to get a call from HR. :/

Eh, just blame it on health and safety.

They once killed everyone in a flood who hadn't followed their rules.....

Not sure a pie would make up for that.

When your frame of reference is eternity, the total lifespan of human civilization is barely an eyeblink. Guess what, we don't have any 13.8 billion year old immortals telling us what is and isn't important for us to fix.

Depends if you believe in a God or not.

Allah SWT isn't immortal, He's eternal.

He came already, and they murdered Him.

That's some nice anti-Semitism there bro.

That's literally Christian theology

Fine, they executed Him, and whether or not they believe they did it, doesn't change the fact that it happened.

No, actually. What I mean was that they disagree on his Messiahood. The execution of Jesus is a historical event that is only disputed among crackpot theorists.

And Muslims. Then again we don't dispute it among ourselves so

Some of the conspiracy theories going around..

Good ol' Alex Jones thinks it might be a terrorist attack but we'll never know because the liberal media will cover it up
Apparently Michelle Obama was in town a few days before and this is very fishy according to QAnon
A fake FOX tweet saying Omar tweeted 'they reap what they sow' as a response to the fire
A lot of stuff about Notre Dame being the symbol of Judeo-Christian civilisation and therefore it must be a terrorist attack

Ah internet..

[Trayvik]

This is a sad tragedy. I hope no major conspiracies will spawn from tragedy.

Too late, sadly

Fires happen all too often during remodeling.

Many private homeowners can attest to this.

No conspiracy is required

Not required but certainly made..

One video of the flames, with 36,000 views, has had the audio edited to suggest that Islamic observers were crying “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great”), in celebration. Another zooms in on a figure apparently wearing a hi-vis vest and hard hat, captioning it as a “Muslim at Notre Dame”.

I’ll add another one to the list: Macron did it. Where from? Right here on NSG.

Oh and another one also from NSG. The Catholic church did it.

What about Satanists?

Interesting note..

Bertrand de Feydeau, from the preservation group Fondation du Patrimoine, said the wooden roof was built with beams from primal forests more than 800 years ago. “We don’t, at the moment, have trees on our territory of the size that were cut in the 13th century,” he said. So the roof may never be built exactly the same, it will always carry the mark of this era and will have to use modern technology.

[The Two Jerseys]

It was obviously arson by the gypsies, Jews, Muslims, atheists, Cathars, Templars, Huguenots, Jacobins, Communards, Vichyists, Germans, and - the ringleader of the bunch - those damn English!

Cardinal Richelieu Napoleon General de Gaulle President Macron needs your donations to help pay for waging war against these enemies of France, vive le Roi! rebuilding.

On a serious note, from what I read it seems that the interior of the building didn't suffer too much damage and the rose windows survived, so that's fortunate.

They’d have to import it from an ancient forest...if they could find those...and even then that wood might be very, very fragile.

Besides, finding this kind of old-growth forest AND cutting down those trees would be inconvenient.
