Yes. Hello. I am Trayvik.

Do you think Satanists caused fire?

Err? No. It was an accident.

My comment was an attempt of humor.

No. It was either an accident, or it was intentionally set by secularists or muslims, IMHO.

Hey! How was your return flight?

I was happy about the window as well. I thought much of the glass work would have been lost. The roof is kind of sad. Some of it was part of the first build.

Devils don't fly. We teleport.

I have heard that some of that glasswork cannot be reproduced today. I would like to think that this was an accident, unfortunately, my faith in humanity isn't strong enough.

I'm a fairly amateur architect, but from what I know:
-The four primary support columns that support the spire appear to be completely or near-completely intact. No visual damage is obvious. That's good. Those things would be a nightmare to replace.
-The vault is compromised, but only a little bit. If it had collapsed, there would be a danger of the stone walls eventually imploding without an external pressure to counteract the buttresses. But as long as the situation is managed (and I'm sure it's being managed very closely) there shouldn't be any risk of this happening.

All-in-all, this is about as good as you could possibly hope for.

Classic tactic of the culprit, trying to act as helpful as possible in the hope no one suspects him of starting the fire but then typically leaves an obvious clue such as admitted they started the fire in their signature.

And no one will suspect me, because I'm extinct! Mwahahaha.

Anyone knows if there have been any updates on the injured firefighter’s condition?

“Two policemen and one fireman were slightly injured,” France’s national fire service said in a tweet Tuesday morning.

Doesn't seem too bad.

All things considered? No. Not bad. However, yesterday it was reported that the injured firefighter was in a serious condition. I was curious to see if there have been any updates about how he’s doing.

There have been multiple church fires in France lately that have in fact been linked to anti-theists. Perhaps some are Satanists ?

It could also just be a few people who were raped in the Cathedral when they were kids and have decided they now want revenge, closure and desruction of the place of their suffering. Downside of that one would be it would become harder to condemn; so I doubt it will be popular.

I'd guess it was faulty electrics, the whole place was in dire need of renovation anyway. Either faulty electrics or some lazy contractor dropping a cigarette into renovation debris.

The cathedral is owned by the state and has been at the centre of a years-long dispute between the nation and the Paris archdiocese over who should finance restoration work to collapsed balustrades, crumbling gargoyles and cracked facades.

Jean-Michel Leniaud, the president of the scientific council at the National Heritage Institute, said: “What happened was bound to happen. The lack of real upkeep and daily attention to such a major building is the cause of this catastrophe.”

I always suspect the use of angle grinders, they send so many sparks flying all over the place.

It can be. Glazing and the artistry involved remains a strong industry. Not much money in staining or leadwork but I know many people who could remake it from scratch.

I would like to thank our Muslim friends and, in a sense, brothers in arms, for kicking the mostly-limp proverbial body of the religious institution that Hajnalised us more than anything else and lead to the issues both of our peoples are experiencing. Although you probably want to cut my head off and I refuse to accept any religion that comes from a desert for the forseeable future, we share a common fight for the time being. It might have been a mostly-symbolic act, but the fact that the products-of-Hajnalisation powers that be are attempting to take away even the fact that you probably did it (instead trailing off into speculation on completely unaddressed electrical faults in one of the most important heritage-listed buildings in Europe) should give you all the affirmation of your actions you needed. We will win.

I believe he's trying to thank Muslims for starting this fire, since he also hates Christians, because he blames them for marriage rates in western Europe being lower than in eastern Europe, and I'm guessing this has something to do with his desire to destroy modern society and have everyone inbreed until we're too stupid to recreate it.

And guess what, the Hajnalised system (not exclusively Latin-Christian now, look at Northeast Asia which also suffered from a bad case of manorialism and pretty quickly picked up Christian-Hajnalised cultural and technological practices compared to, say, the MENA region and Africa) is an IQ shredder by design and is in its current form too fixated on short-term gain and keeping funny money charades going to actually stop this. In fact, if any segment of the global Hajnalised system were to attempt to reinvigorate itself it would probably fail at this point, at least in the West and the most developed parts of Northeast Asia, it's too far-gone to reverse a lot of the trends made up of hundreds of millions of people and the entire makeup of those in powers' interests/worldviews being acted upon. Just avoid anything close to human obsolescence and there is a small but not negligible bit of hope we could make it out of this alive and Dehajnalise everything before it's set in motion a few centuries after the collapse. Do you value humanity?

Anyway, I will stop threadjacking and get back to the topic of Notre Dame. I personally am listening to some Burzum and relaxing because of the event. How have you reacted to it?
