I will say though that someone or some group dropped the ball on this. Not prepared.

it's 2019 - nobody cares about logic or reason before posting shit.


PS: they were rescuing artifacts first before pouring water on them from the top

One of the towers is on fire as of 10 or 15 mins ago. They didn't just soak them to save them. They soaked them to hope to slow them once they started fire.

the towers look ok still watching it live here, but maybe you´re right, maybe, omg, it´s such a shame.

I´ve just watched the spire falling again on a replay, omg, it´s so sad :Oh crap

Ever hear of a helicopter? Better than NO SUPPORT which is the reason they lost it.

a helicopter? you do know the WHOLE inside of this church was 850-year-old wood right

Damn, and the dude was just trying to destroy his porno mags.

You Trump supporters have a hard time with logic. Here is some info for your neanderthal brain....

In a pair of tweets, France's civil defense agency appeared to dismiss Trump's suggestion.

"The drop of water by air on this type of building could indeed result in the collapse of the entire structure," the agency said in French. "Alongside those ... who are currently doing the maximum to save #NotreDame."

"Helicopter or airplane, the weight of the water and the intensity of the drop at low altitude could indeed weaken the structure of Notre-Dame and result in collateral damage to the buildings in the vicinity," the agency added.

several specialists on TV explain why dumping water from planes or helicopters would be a bad idea - for example because the sudden impact of the weight would bring the walls down. It's not a forrest fire.

Wiki says that 12 million people visit Notre Dame Cathedral every year. That's a big chunk of tourist money Paris will lose now.

ugh, must have been a lot of construction going around in France today, as there are other churches on fire, today and the last few weeks

damn Construction crews need to take care of their shit better

What kind of mental defect do you lunatics have? Your liberal media hasn't give it much coverage ( for obvious reasons) but muslims have been torching churches in Paris for the last few months.

That's interesting.

Surprise your dumb ass isn't in here saying 100 million muslims live in peace with Christians all over the world. If they do this shit as a minority what the fuck do you think they do to them when they are the majority.

Correct me if i'm wrong… but are you saying that the Notre Dame is famous for bells that ring when it collapses and that they are probably hoping for that?

What the fuck are you talking about?

lol i will have to clean up my keyboard now, no proplem gazzas :2 cents:

see sig its hot

true story: I'm still laughing out loud:1orglaugh

Sure, its possible it was arson. But it's possible it was not. Ive been to Paris. When there are threat levels, they heighten security. They have soldiers walking around with damn machine guns.

Even if it was an attack... you are still no less a racist pos. :2 cents:

lol stop it, don't keep it up for suckssake

gary no reply

Someone forgot to put out a candle or two . . .

Too many people focus too much on material things, and not on what should be really important.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Anyone allready knows how many bells are gone???

do you think they might want to sell them ? i am in the market

first, I was busy working, funny enough, I have a business to run and money to make :disgust

second, you idiots knocking me, you have no knowledge that even Macron´s happy that the towers have been saved, a land mark for Paris, the bells at the Notre Dame are among the most famous in the world...

https://www.theguardian.com/world/li...mark-live-news

you guys need to sort your attitudes out & stop acting like cunts :321GFY

for give me gary for i have sinned

btw, maybe a simple, can you explain what this is about as i´m ignorant to the fact, would have been much nicer for you to say....

ok, Bryan, you´re ignorant to the fact that the Notre Dame is a landmark, the 2 towers hold 2 bells and there are many bells inside, they´re one of the most famous in the world...

I was saying the firefighters were spraying the 2 towers, i guessed correctly and this was to stop them both catching fire and also burning down...

I´ve read, both these towers have been saved and as above, Macron is most happy some heritage was saved...



The problem with GFY, no one can ask questions or say their POV, without retards, ignorant retards acting like idiots or being nasty :disgust

you don´t need to tell us, you need to go and repent the amount you´ve sinned :disgust

So maybe you were trying to say that when bells are soaked they will still be able to ring after they collapsed???

are you trying to act stupid or are you really that stupid?

They actually have saved the 2 towers at the front of the Notre dame...

the bells can continue to ring through the years ahead :2 cents:


I´m not trying to say anything, I said they were spraying the towers, this to save them, this they have done. The main building has collapsed, but not the towers...

good for the fire fighters to gain control of that huge blaze and save some of the building :thumbsup

wow, this is very interesting and when you read this, it´s more and more likely this could have been terrorism :Oh crap


it´s just amazing and a blessing no one has been hurt :2 cents:

Have you been drinking??? WTF are you talking about???? There are no twin towers in front of the Notre Dame... so how can they be saved???

Bells saved YES!!! That's a good thing!!! They can at least hang the bells in the trees there or what ever so at least the tourists will continue to visit to hear the bells ringing from the trees...

Ahhh ok i'm sorry that must be a misunderstanding I thought you were trying to say something about the bells...

Where do you get your info from??? Because the towers collapsed and building 7 also… everyone knows this… ???
