Notre Dame
A serious fire has caused one of the towers to collapse.
On the news now. What a crying shame for this beautiful old building. Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk

There a few years ago, sad. See that idiot Trump has suggested putting the fire out with flying water tankers!

Tragic news for the city of Paris.
Hope they can save some of the treasures held within. Rings bells with the fire in The Glasgow School of Art which was also under a major refurbishment. |

Firefighters reckon they've got it under control and the main structure has been saved.

That was sad to watch it go up in flames, this seems to happen time and again when renovation work is being carried out, York Minster, Glasgow school of art to name just two.

Hats off to the Paris firefighters for getting it under control last night. Things are looking a lot less desperate today thanks to them - they saved Notre Dame. |
