Always love to go and relax in the surrounding areas. Glad I was able to take my entire family last year.

Not sure if it's going to make it.

Last year I delayed my flight to London. Just happen to be my activities got pushed back and one of those days prior a dude went crazy driving his car in the London bridge. You cant take life for granted man.

[sooperhooper]

Did they say how it started?

 

[vegetaray123]

News is saying it was a result of the ongoing construction to restore portions of the building...Started in the attic area apparently...

 

[sonoftony]

I was hoping to see Notre Dame with my own eyes one of these days

As an Architect who’s never laid eyes on it

I was most likely caused by the renovations that they were doing to the building.

The issue with old historical buildings is that they sacrifice safety for the historical preservation.

The fire alarm system was most likely very limited compared to a typical commercial building/church. The fire suppression system was also non existent because who would want a sprinkler system in a historic cathedral. In general, it is very difficult to design fire protection/fire alarm for a church let alone a historic building.

I personally think they were drilling through a wall and some of the material within the wall was flammable to the heat of the drill. The other engineers at my job think that the electrical installation for the scaffolding at the renovation location was poorly installed thus causing the fire. We will see.

Horrible, glad I got a chance to see it in person 2 years ago.

The amount of bricks the owner of that contruction company is ****ting has to be immense.

Glad I was able to visit it both day and night...
