Re: Notre Dame burns ---

Heartbreaking scenes on the news that the beautiful Notre-Dame Cathedral has gone up in flames and its world famous spire has collapsed.

This is as bad as St Paul's going up in flames. It took 200 years to build Notre-Dame Cathedral, and just a couple of hours to destroy it. Terribly sad to see.

Thanks but absolutely no need to apologize.

It's a horrible thing. Story so far seems to be it's been caused by something going wrong during renovation work.

Thanks AT. Yes, it's really heartbreaking to see. The wonderful story of Esmerelda and the Hunchback of Notre-Dame will never seem the same again without thinking of these awful scenes at such a world-famous cathedral. I do hope they have managed to save many of the precious works of art and priceless artifacts from inside.

Re: Notre Dame burns ---

Many years ago, a relative of mine sang in a choir in Nôtre Dame.

Very sad news indeed.
