galrads: Memorial for st Joan of Arc who was burned at the stake and then a second time. Now a third.


I hope this is an accident. What better timing than during holy week....
"And now I know how Joan of Arc felt
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt
As the flames rose to her Roman nose
And her walkman started to melt"

galrads: What started the fire?
When asked, the police said they're not sure but they've got a hunch.

Prosecutors believe the fire started accidentally, based on their preliminary investigation.

Louis Vierne - Messe : Kyrie
Louis Verne was the grand organist of Notre Dame from 1900 to till his death on June 2, 1937 of a heart attack or stroke while he was playing the cathedrals grand organ up in the organ loft. He was blind. He wrote 6 organ symphonies on it's organ and this Mass (Messe) for 2 organs (the other organ was the choir organ) and full choir. They say his ghost haunts the organ loft of Notre Dame and some say you can hear him playing the organ at night after the cathedral is closed down.

A French official and the Paris fire chief have told the Associated Press that they think Notre Dame Cathedral’s landmark rectangular towers have been saved from the fire that caused horrific damage.

Paris fire commander Jean-Claude Gallet says that a major accomplishment of the hundreds of firefighters was stopping the flames from spreading to the north tower belfry. “We can consider that the main structure of Notre-Dame has been saved and preserved.”

The structure of the cathedral has been saved, and the fire has been stopped from spreading to the northern belfry, Paris police said.

The junior interior minister Laurent Nuñez says that authorities remain “prudent” but are “much more optimistic” than they were earlier tonight.

He defended the fact water-bombing planes were not been used, as suggested by US President Donald Trump, saying that such action would have posed a “major danger” for the structure.

He adds that the fire has “decreased in intensity” and “the structure of the building is saved, including the north tower.”

Gallet says two-thirds of Notre Dame’s roofing “has been ravaged.” He says one firefighter was injured, adding that fire crews will keep working overnight to cool down the structure.
