Ah we're familiar with the concept of renovation by burning it down. Has anyone rounded up the property developers yet?

thespaceinvader posted:I'd be pretty shocked if it wasn't to be honest, it's got a LOT of wood in it and it's on an island with poo poo awful road access, in rush hour, in Paris. Unless they've got a spectacular fireboat fleet... Someone just said the firefights didn't have powerful enough hoses to reach the tallest parts of the building, which seems like a massive oversight if true.

Ms Adequate posted:Honestly this is an exceptional tragedy. Buildings and arts are the real, physical manifestation of a people's history and culture. They're the one and only place in which that poo poo is actually real, tangible, and important. Some evanescent gammon sense of are country is bollocks, but standing in an ancient cathedral, or among the works of old masters, or the like - those are the experiences that define and humble us. And yes, people dying is terrible as well, and outrageous and criminal a lot of the time; but there are always more people. There is - was - only one Notre Dame. I'd kill myself right now if it would save the cathedral (Or for that matter restore things destroyed or lost over the long millennia). Short of curing cancer or something my life could never come close to the value of a piece of humankind's heritage. A single human life is more important than any building imo

I get the "but what about Grenfell" argument, etc., but it's a significant cultural artefact, some people have an emotional attachment to art and culture, who knew?

The managers knew about this but we're afraid to say anything because they were afraid of being called racist.

What would be the equivalent if it happened in the UK? Like, St Paul's is positively modern in comparison.

Why isn't jeremy corbyn the tweetlord? Why aren't you always online jeremy?big scary monsters posted:Same. It's sad for sure though. I can't really think of a good UK comparison, I guess like if someone took a wrecking ball to Stonehenge? I'm sure we can stack some rocks in a circle, the technology is not beyond us. And the rocks can even be as old as the ones that are already there. Actually we could get some even older rocks if we wanted, and stack them up even higher!
