Yea I assume the wood lit up like a dry pile of leaves

but the fire is apparently hard to contorl

I hope they actually answer them and don't just find some scapegoat

just the wood from the roof, shit was 800 years old dry

It's a very bad look for French rulers ?

I assume it did what Noleen said and started below the roof so nobody noticed it in time.

Practically a bonfire waiting to be lit up

there was a mass when it started, people were evacuated because of a small cloud of grey smoke

Apparently they're also working on getting stuff out of the building

I heard they recovered everything

they got some of the statues out

Idk what else

Yeah, fortunately they evacuated quickly so no deaths/injuries

All of the artwork was saved

But the inside decorations

By some miracle..

Well there's no saving that

They probably have procedures for it

Take pics

I didn't think it would be complete destruction

I guess it is hard to handle a fire on the roof of a big old wooden building

they say if the biggest bell were to fall, the entire tower would fall too

They really should have been replacing the wood

Yeah it honestly hurts to see

I can imagine with that weight

Then there really would be nothing left f

From that picture it looks like the tower is already gone

well that's good news

That hashtag tho lol
