They really are slow at everything. Pour wine on it maybe. Jesus, those aircraft are not all just sitting around ready to go. Took three days to get them to Bastrop during those fires and the planes were sitting in Oklahoma.
April 15, 20196 yr Just now, wood said: Everyone is slow at mobilizing these aircraft, even if they happen to be in the area, which isn't likely. They aren't just sitting around everywhere. They're in areas where there are lots of forest fires. username checks out.

April 15, 20196 yr At this moment there is every fucking city official and person who can do anything mobilizing around the Duomo in Florence (and other such places). If that one goes, I'm gonna jump from a bridge or something.

How often do we see a massive building burn completely nowadays? Much less one of such importance. Remember when the Texas Capitol caught on fire 35 years ago? Kudos to AFD for saving the whole building from destruction. A TV set in the Lieutenant Governors apartment caught on fire while his daughter was entertains a couple of guests. that precipitated the renovation of the whole building and the subsequent construction of the underground annex.

Are you actually holding the belief that the French, for whom this building is a national icon and a huge part of their cultural identity for nearly a thousand years, are holding back their efforts to fight this fire?
April 15, 20196 yr Translation of a statement from a priest at ND - As usual, it’s breaking news and Twitter, so grain of salt and all that.

April 15, 20196 yr I’m gonna go ahead assume that a construction worker or etc has a very good idea of how this fire started. Of course I imagine they’ll be reluctant to come forward.

April 15, 20196 yr I’ll echo everyone here saying this is awful. I was there in the summer of 2003. I’ve also been to a few other famous landmarks on par with Notre Dame such as the Vatican. Notre Dame was the only place that gave me goosebumps. There was nothing like walking into that building and hearing the choirs singing with all of the candles lit. It was amazing.
