It’s not. It’s an attack on Europe. Shut your taqqiyah.It's it me or is the hysteria over a burning building a tad disproportionate?

I hear you. My instinct was to be like "I hope y'all had that same energy for Puerto Rico and Ferguson," but then I realized it's truly sad when any object of cultural significance is lost. In France, where an essential culture is basically their religion, this must be a deep cut.Is it gme or is the hysteria over a burning building a tad disproportionate?
800 years.I hear you. My instinct was to be like "I hope y'all had that same energy for Puerto Rico and Ferguson," but then I realized it's truly sad when any object of cultural significance is lost. In France, where an essential culture is basically their religion, this must be a deep cut.
Treating it as just a building is a substantial understatement. This place is a part of world history. I am not religious in the slightest, but this is more substantial than even the Eiffel Tower or White House being severely threatened. For context, Notre Dame Cathedral was started only about 100 years closer to today than to the day that Jesus was supposedly crucified. Napolean was coronated there. Joan of Arc spent time there.Is it me or is the hysteria over a burning building a tad disproportionate?
There's an instinct that people have nowadays where they act as if something can't be mourned if worse things are happening at the time. I don't understand it, and I am glad you fought it.I hear you.

@KWingJitsu @Kneeblock Also, it may appear that people are reacting more to this because we can all agree that this is sad. When something such as Puerto Rico or Ferguson happens, many people are too busy childishly arguing the politics of the situation and placing blame to mourn the lost. This one is harder to mine for political posturing (though some particularly annoying public figures have found a way). Generally, our current society is lost in argument when sad things happen. This one isn't the case as much, so you are seeing more actual human reaction.
Being a bit of a history buff, I appreciate the significance of Notre Dame, but you brought up the underlying thought behind my post: Not a single life was lost. "Things" (building) can be replaced, but people can't. Fortunately, the essential structure is intact, most of the artifacts are safe and sound.I hear you.

Ferguson? Thug attacks a police officer. He brought that on himself. Losers burn and riot where they live. So much the same.I hear you.

This particular building cannot be replaced. They are certainly fortunate that it wasn't damaged more than it was.Being a bit of a history buff, I appreciate the significance of Notre Dame, but you brought up the underlying thought behind my post: Not a single life was lost.

Yet we have hundred million dollar donations pouring in, Macron vowing to rebuild, etc. Amateur firefighters suggesting flying water tankers (lol).
I'm just thinking about when ISIS was destroying equally (if not more so) significant structures in Palmyria ... barely any eyelids were batted. Just seems a bit much, considering it will be fine in the end.
she is actually making a good living on HBO playing arya stark.Did the hunchback make it out ok?
the church I went too had all sort of ridiculous technology catholic churches are rich AF our collection plate was a humongous basket the size of a trash can.I was thinking about this. I don't know if those old buildings are retrofitted to current codes. I'm assuming not as it would take away from the original beauty.
Nobody wants to see a bunch of sprinkler heads blocking the view of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling.
Fire starts...
Wonder what their fire watch time was or their hot work practice. Leaving at normal time after just turning off the welding torch or grinding your traywork.

From what I have read, there are sensors checking for fire all around the building, and the structure is inspected for any signs of fire three times per day. There were also pipes fitted into the building so that firefighters could shoot pressurized water through, but there were no sprinklers in the wooden rafters.I was thinking about this.

So you’re are saying it was possible? You know the internet never gives up.
