Notre Dame - On Fire
It is so sad to see this historic and beautiful structure being consumed by fire. What a loss for both Paris and the world.

Re: Notre Dame - On Fire
I feel like there is a small part of humanity’s soul being lost. I feel sad for the French people. Hopefully it’s accidental and not like the deliberate destruction of ancient sites which are considered crimes against humanity.

Re: Notre Dame - On Fire
Yes, I have heard that the sheer weight and impact of any airborne water drop (talking about literally tons of water *at once* and at high speed) could have caused catastrophic collapse and could have pushed the fire elsewhere in the cathedral.
The main stone structure of the cathedral is preserved. An airborne water drop could have had a drastically different outcome.Simaudio Moon Neo 260 DT CD Transport / MIT SL-Matrix Plus AES/EBU digital cable / Schiit Yggdrasil Analog 2 DAC / Octave HP 700 preamp / Octave RE 320 stereo amp with Super Black Box / Reference 3A Reflector monitors on Sound Anchors Signature Stands / dual JL Audio Fathom 112 v2 subwoofers on ASC SubTraps / ZenWave Audio D4 and SMSG cables / Acoustic treatment: tube traps, Tri-panels, window plugs, ceiling diffusers (all ASC), large absorbing panels (Acoustics First), diverse carpets chosen for acoustic properties: wool, polypropylene basket-weave

What a tragic loss for the world. It is amazing that there has already been $700 million in private donations committed to the reconstruction project.

Re: Notre Dame - On Fire
As I said:
https://au.news.yahoo.com/amphtml/tr...4246--spt.html
"Everything would have collapsed," said Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Bernier, a fire chief who speaks for the national civil defence organisation and who described the suggestion as "risible".
Releasing even one load from a Canadair water bomber used to fight forest fires on Notre-Dame would be "the equivalent of dropping three tonnes of concrete at 250 kilometres per hour (155mph)" on the ancient monument.
"It would have been like bowling with the cathedral... the two towers might have fallen.
"It was technically impossible, undoable and most of all would have been utterly useless" to douse the flames from the air, Bernier added.
In fact, dropping a 6,300-litre (1,664-gallon) load from a Canadair water bomber would have put the lives of firefighters and anyone in the area at risk, he added.
"Neighbouring buildings would have been hit by flying blocks of hot stone, and the whole area would have had to be evacuated."
With more than 500 firefighters already at the scene -- many within the building -- that would have been impossible.
Even using a helicopter to drop 1,500 litres of water would have left only the towers standing, Bernier insisted.
"The nave would have collapsed, the flying buttresses would have gone," he said.
"If a plane had been used the whole of the structure might have tumbled."Simaudio Moon Neo 260 DT CD Transport / MIT SL-Matrix Plus AES/EBU digital cable / Schiit Yggdrasil Analog 2 DAC / Octave HP 700 preamp / Octave RE 320 stereo amp with Super Black Box / Reference 3A Reflector monitors on Sound Anchors Signature Stands / dual JL Audio Fathom 112 v2 subwoofers on ASC SubTraps / ZenWave Audio D4 and SMSG cables / Acoustic treatment: tube traps, Tri-panels, window plugs, ceiling diffusers (all ASC), large absorbing panels (Acoustics First), diverse carpets chosen for acoustic properties: wool, polypropylene basket-weave

Re: Notre Dame - On Fire
The firefighters did an excellent job.
The fire was an accident. It might have been an electrical problem in an elevator below/in the spire ...
• https://www.cbsnews.com/live-news/no...-live-updates/
The architecture of Notre Dame Cathedral is grandísimo.
Already $1 billion is secured for its reconstruction, from some seriously generous billionaires and more.
The more I learn about its history, culture, arts, ...the more I discover the light that animates the heart of French Parisians.~ Bob ~

Re: Notre Dame - On Fire
It's Easter, we all feel deeply. We've all seen people united. It's the largest musical instrument and the largest listening room...the organ in all world's Cathedrals. It brings life and joy in all of us...babies, youngsters and elders, of all colors and all regions. It is our world to us all under the canopy of planet Earth. It's the place we celebrate life and pay respect to the dead. It's a place of peace and reconciliation. ...Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris.

Carnegie donated huge # of some of the greatest organs that are in many of the Cathedrals around the world.
He believed in the "Gospel of Wealth," which meant that wealthy people were morally obligated to give their money back to others in society. Take it for what it's worth.
