This is a tragedy of epic proportions.
Looks to be caused by some of the repairs being done.

That looks really not good.

Yeah. Spire is completely gone now. I just saw someone say the entire building is engulfed now and that it is going to be a total loss.That looks really not good.
Maybe I am a bad person, but this bothers me as much of maybe more than if there had been another major terrorist attack.

It's gone. Way past the point of no return now. This is so sad. I've seen it. It's a true piece of history. You don't get any more "historic" than this place.

No, your not. This is an epic loss for the history of mankind.
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

From another news article: “The fire comes after several weeks of vandalism and arson attacks on church buildings across France.”
So it may be from reconstruction work or could be Islamic vandalism/terrorism. Fair warning to the US if we keep taking in unverified immigrants from Islamic countries and let Islam feel it is outside our laws here.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry in an address at St. John’s Church, Richmond, Virginia, on March 23, 1775.

I had the same thought. It would be more acceptable if it was a terrorist attack. That this was an accident associated with a renovation attempt is almost too much to accept. If this was something like some f-tard plugged in an extension cord wrong and started a fire it will really be hard to take.

Same. This is a totally different type of tragedy.

given when they are estimating the fire started and given this is France we are talking about wouldn't work have been stopped for the day.
