Recent pictures looks like the majority of the roof is on fire, lots of smoke =/ Hope they can put it out with limited damage...

Quote from a reporter at the scene: 'The roof has entirely collapsed, there are flames coming out the back of the cathedral as if it was a torch'
awful.

I'm not a religious person and I've never been a Catholic a day in my life. But I've always appreciated the architecture and the beauty of the building of the Notre Dame cathedral. It's a building that's stood for hundreds of years and as a history buff, I absolutely appreciate it. I hope that the fire can be put out or runs its course before it's a total loss.

Wow. The spire collapsed and the fire is still huge.

Honestly for all the movie references, I could see this putting a serious dent in Disney's plans to do a live-action adaptation. The whole thing'd really just be uncomfortable to do right now.

Watching coverage of this. Doesn't seem real.
Apparently some speculation about the renovation efforts somehiw being tied to the fire.

I watched the video of the spire collapsing and I really wish I didn't. Just severely bummed me out.

Yeah, jokes aside, this is pretty awful. We’re watching history go up in flames.

Have on CNN and the fact they don't know whether there were people inside or not sounds... very worrisome. Hopefully not but it sounds like there probably were.

WTF? What's with the disrespectful jokes? I assume we're not sure that nobody has been killed/hurt at this point? Even if not it's still sad, all that history just gone.

The soaring spire of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris has collapsed in flames, and a church spokesman says the entire wooden interior of the 12th century landmark is burning and likely to be destroyed.
f***. Tragic.

They seem to be getting the fire under better control.

Making all the Hunchback jokes all the more awkward is that the original book was primary written to promote the building's architecture.

Humor can help some people deal with tragic events. I know it does in my case. Admittedly, I made my joke before I realized the gravity of the situation. But humor still isn’t a definite sign of insensitivity.

Yikes. That’s damn tragic seeing such a historic building with that much meaning behind it be destroyed like that.
