It's sad, it is like St Pauls Cathedral or Big Ben going up in flames for us!

that will now draw more tourist to see after it burned down.
its a pity that it did not burn down on Saturday when the yellow vest where rioting .

I was in Paris working last summer went to Notre Dame and all the other touristy sites lots of times
Definitely some of the world's best architecture in this city, amazing workmanship very sad to see this building on fire

 

[buzzlightyear]

C'est la vie .

One candle too many i would think. I visited the place years ago and would have loved to have spent longer wandering around the place ... the intricacy of the wooden carvings fretwork etc and the mason art just blew me away .

Someone with a naked flame, plumbers or painters mostly. Or like the Windsor Castle fire, started by a spot light on a curtain.

 

[markthebuilder]

Well that’s what they told the inshureres

Someone naked behind the curtain with an old flame..
Sounds like the royal family alright

Act of god

Very sad. Seems to be a regular occurrence at the moment with restoration work on historic buildings.

The House of Commons had a roof leak a week or so back during brexit votes.
Due to the renovations or sabotage?

If it was in the U.K. I bet some private contractor like Carillion would have the contract. They’d have under quoted for the job and would be struggling financially. Suggested above what happens next

I read that the royal family are very fire safety conscious. Apparently princess Margaret regularly had a guard in front of the fire.

is this the shires of lord of the insurance .

With any luck the house of commons should go up complete with every self entitled PC liberal mp inside it that would be 99% of them.

I am surprised no one has blamed Brexit for this........
