I'm guessing France doesn't have any helicopters or planes on hand that can dump that fire retardant foam, like we in the US break out when $WILDFIRE_RANDOM_VAR breaks out. Or prepping these aircraft takes quite a while. Or dumping said foam on an 800-year-old building was deemed by people who know more about firefighting than me to be a horrendously bad idea. Or a combination thereof.

imagine living the rest of your life with being the builder that did a woopsy and destroyed a worldwide monument as well known as the pyramids

Lots of people either would not give two tugs of a dead dog's dick because they're that callous or that filled with "nothing matters" nihilism, yet are too chicken poo poo to chug some Drano, lay down in their bathtub, and let the void embrace them. That's what always gets me.

It's not that I don't care it's just that what's really left anymore but to howl with laughter?

Laughing so as to avoid screaming in terror and/or anger or crying with frustration? OK, I can understand and even agree with that.

It's just some loving building who gives a poo poo!!! there are starving kids all over the world. They're loving dying of hunger and malaria you piece of poo poo, you loving demon

This is worth zero concern, zero empathy. You fuckshit, you animal

"oh no the ROSE WINDOWS"

loving WINDOWS??? You cretinous goblin

Ahhhh crap. If only someone had told us we can only care about one thing at a time!

This building is (or was) part of humanity's historical legacy, another entry in our species' diary so to speak, an example of what we can do, of the works we can build, and so forth.

You calling people cretinous goblins and not caring about the historical and cultural significance of this is like some 600 lb. blob of beef tallow in a rascal scooter calling someone a fatass.

Sorry, I crossed a line I shouldn't have; comment removed. I eventually just reach a limit with people who say poo poo like nothing matters, humanity deserves to die, etc.

Entropy reduces all things to dust, nothing can ever be preserved, the glory of humanity is not in preserving what cannot be eternal, but in building the new from its ashes

aka this is not the end of the Notre Dame, it is another chapter in its story

I don't think anyone worth listening to is saying otherwise. We as a species will not just throw up our hands and go "Welp, so much for that!" and then build a WeWork office complex there. It still doesn't make the damage and the presumed loss of all the artifacts within any less heart-rending, though.

They mentioned eastern Europe in one of their posts. That's all you need to know about the "nothing matters, everything is gray and filled with misery and vodka, just like my family" mindset.

If people type like 14-year-old girls talk, namely saying like every five words or so, odds are they're not very bright and whatever they're spewing forth should be read accordingly. Just a heads up.
