Creepia Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Nearly a 1000 years old. Roof and spire has collapsed. They say it was a renovation disaster. A true shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekka_No_Ryo Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 my cousin is an architect and he referenced the cathedral, and architects of the past like wright as some of his inspirations and yeah, I hope the fire does not do too much damage.

I think it's pretty much a total loss. The roof collapsed, and the spire fell. They can (and surely will) reconstruct it...but it isn't going to be the same building.

Mango kid Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I don't know as far as I can tell it's still burning and it's burning in frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well, stone won't burn...but it will split and crumble. I'm sure they will try to use as many of the original stone blocks as they can...but like I said...it won't be the same building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango kid Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Okay the new update is they were able to save the main building by the looks of it all is the roof and the Spires everything else is fine the artifacts are safe as excited my guests are going to rebuild it and restore it back to what it originally look like it's just going to be a brand new roof Inspire but they were able to salvage and save the main building Not related but kind of a scary thought that I was watching a documentary hour-by-hour of the London Fire at the same time this is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Ubisoft is donating $560,000+, and offering assistance in the form of concept art and 3D models in the rebuilding process of the building. You know...useless video game stuff. And as great as that all is, I've been reading the most asinine comments on facebook about it. Stuff like "we can't feed the homeless, but we can rebuild a church"..."nice to see where the priorities of millionaires lie", "Flint Michigan needs clean water", etc. It's like...dude...this is about the arts preserving the arts. It isn't even a religious thing. It's about history and art, which were a driving factor behind the existence of the AC franchise, and are obviously important to the Ubisoft team. I swear...I hate people. You go out of your way to do good, and people still want you to do something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really annoying, like " there are starving kids in Africa yet everyones concerned over a church burning ". These people don't seem to realize that being concerned over a church that contains centuries worth of art and history burning doesn't mean you aren't concerned about other issues.

Problem is, they can do good in other places too, or at least, the wealthy are getting criticized for being able to fund hundreds of millions of dollars for a building but won't even do anything for Flint or the three black churches burned down by a white supremacist. I think people are happy with Notre Dame burning because of France's history with colonization and how religious places of worship usually are okay with pedophilia.

Generations Posted April 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 M3J, that's retarded...and you should slap your own damn self for even entertaining ideas like that. Whatever conspiracy theories may or may not surround the catholic church, France, etc...it was a treasured landmark that held historical and artistic meaning. Don't be a damn fool. If there's even a single part of your brain that says "there goes a thousand year old building...but I'm fine with it, because religion is weird and those people might be pedophiles"...nah, screw that absurd level of noise. It's a building. It's a landmark. You don't need to consider anything more than that when it comes to appreciating the level of skill that went into its construction, or the fact that it has lasted as long as it has. You don't celebrate a sacrificial blood temple in the middle of the jungle because people were killed there...you celebrate it because it's a part of history. You don't say "we should bulldoze that temple because I don't support human sacrifice". There is zero parallel between appreciating a structure and supporting religious concepts. This isn't "billionaires donating to the Illuminati" or whatever these simpletons think it is...it's just people who appreciate the concept of preserving history. Pretty much every major monument in the world is shady in one way or another. It doesn't mean we should be happy to lose them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm telling you (well, God of Lightning) what other people have said, and there are no theories around that, are there? Hasn't even the Pope talked about this? Yes you can say "let's bulldoze that temple because it's horrible despite its bad history!" Do you even understand why people are irked at the wealthy donating hundreds of millions of dollars to a building? It's not them donating that has people annoyed, it's the fact that they're willing to donate to an object instead of helping fund stuff that can help people, like providing Flint clean water again or reducing homelessness and hunger. People's anger is justified. And before you accuse me of some other shit, I don't like that the building burned down. I can understand why many are okay or happy about it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Gen... .....I need to go take a shower. But seriously, businesses can do whatever they want with their money. It doesn't matter if they are donating for Art purposes, or Religious purposes. But the internet is always looking for something to get upset about. Since these people have so much time on their hands to complain, maybe they should donate money to causes they support. Or go spend a few hours at a local food kitchen. I doubt most of them have done either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
