[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 4029992, member: 18225"] "Thousands stood on the banks of the Seine river and watched in shock as the fire tore through the cathedral’s wooden roof and brought down part of the spire. Video filmed by onlookers and shared on social media showed smoke and flames billowing from the top of the cathedral. Vincent Dunn, a fire consultant and former New York City fire chief, said that fire hose streams could not reach the top of such a cathedral, and that reaching the top on foot was often an arduous climb over winding steps. “These cathedrals and houses of worship are built to burn,” he said. “If they weren’t houses of worship, they’d be condemned.” [/QUOTE]
