France 24 just tweeted this (it’s currently 3:21 CST time)

One word:

FUCK

[e-l-e-n-a-t]

Stand up and fight!  God lit the candle!

Pour le fête de Rameaux Pour la Quasimodo Pour le jour de Noël et le jour de la Toussaint Pour l'Annonciation Pour le Résurrection Pour la St-Valentin et pour le Vendredi Saint Pour les célébrations Et pour les processions La plus belle c'est qu'on appelle le Fête Dieu Jour de l'an, jour des rois Jour de Pâques, jour de joie Jour de la Pentecôte avec ses langues de feu Pour les confirmations Et pour les communions L'Angélus et le glas dies irae dies illa La jour de l'Ascension La jour de l'Assomption Pour tous les hosannas et tous les alleluias

Also, if the Notre Dame catheral burns down, I will be extremely sad. This is has been standing powerful in Paris so for so long. 

If this becomes our Library Of Alexandria, I have no issue rioting against the world. 

It’s such a symbol to so many people, and it’s stood proud for over 700 years.  It’s a symbol of hope. 

So...that’s the national historical damage for today.

Notre-Dame is NOT going to burn to the ground

Le Monde is reporting that firefighters in Paris are getting the flames under control, and that although the roof and spire have been destroyed, the two towers and the entire structure of the cathedral are “saved.” This is based on statements from the commander-general of the Paris fire brigade and from Laurent Nunez, the secretary to the interior minister.

I never even thought this could happen

there's this thing in apocalypse movies we're they show the ruins of all the main cities and all that's left standing is the shell of the main monuments

and they do that so that you know what they are showing you obviously, but in my mind, seeing that image so many times...

I guess I just unconsciously believed those buildings indestructible

no matter what happens the big ben will remain, the great wall will remain, Notre Dame will...

she was beautiful, and old, and full of millions of live lived through scenes inside its walls

how many people you think got married while it's organ was playing?

how many families stood under its stained-glass-light to give their child a name before God and men?

how many people murmured their prayers to the echos of its walls?

she was beautiful

and she was old

and she was fragile

and now she will be no more
