Damn I wonder if some people did something
Hell, I will; it's Trump's fault.
Reports that the main spire just collapsed.
Makes me want to puke. Just a horrible loss for history.

@MegaPoke ban this asshole for this shit.
Well, forgive me and not to pile on but, in the last 100 years, retro fitting an aggressive sprinkler system was never considered?
I'm gonna give mankind the benefit of the doubt and back this theory as opposed to wanton arson.
That girl's tweet with the roof from yesterday kind of makes a construction accident plausible. I forget all the wood in that stuff, it wasn't sprinkled?!?!?
Come on don’t go this route. Muslims destroyed how many historical structures in Syria and Iraq in the last five years? How many have been destroyed by accident in the same time frame? It could be an old lady flicking her cigarette but commenting on Muslims destroying a symbolic structure isnt worth a message board ban. Your wokeness took another step up today though.
Funny, my first thought it was likely caused by the 'yellow-vests' rather than muslim terrorists, as they've vandalized other famous Paris tourist locales. That said, expect the conspiracy theorists to go nuts. Just last week, all the bronze and marble statues had been removed (and thus aren't damaged) as part of the refurbishment.
I read over 400 firefighters were there trying to contain the blaze. Several trucks with water cranes and all that...
Just glad that the wife and I were fortunate enough to see it in person. Tragic loss of history.
That IS the quintessential bitter irony.
Not out of the question it seems.

Far right conspiracy theory twitters are the only twitters pushing Notre Dame conspiracy theories...
Seriously?
Cue Twilight Zone theme music.
How deranged have the anti Trumpers becoming when they are trying to connect Trump to Notre Dame burning down. I knew the left was nuts but this is certifiable.
I don't know why they're gonna spend a gazillion to rebuild it.
As I understand it, very few actually go inside anymore.
They could build a facade for 5% of the cost.
Just saying.

Past couple of months there have been multiple church fires and vandalism. This may or may not be related. However, don't tell us not to speculate...and then speculate if it was electrical, a torch, an accident by a worker, etc. Calling it a right-wing conspiracy might work if there hadn't been multiple attacks on Christian church buildings in France.
