mauvais 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Holy ****, I can't believe it. And, during Holy week no less. Not going to lie, the footage makes me cry. As an art history student, you read about fires and freak occurrences like this occurring throughout history, but it's so horrible to see live. I'll hold out hope for the Cathedral come what may because the only thing Catholicism ever gave me was my unwavering determinism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannesrats 26 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I have class in 15 minutes about music history and I don't think I'm going to handle this well. So much of the western music we know today came from Notre Dame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just important to Catholics. ⚯͛ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Estie 5,722 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 this is a real loss for humanity & the arts. This was a piece of art 900 years old. I'm so sad the spire collapsed ugh. It's probably never going to be recovered. Call your therapist...it's Petie Estie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
