Still remember watching it burn… shocking sight :-/
They’ve done an *incredible* job at restoring it though, and now there’s a very, very good fire suppression system in the roof.

i cant believe its been 6 years man, fuck.
I live in Paris and I remember everyone talking about it. After work I went to see it and there were a lot of people everywhere. With black smoke coming out of the cathedral. It was impressive.
What angers me is that, for what I know, no one payed for that. It’s been classified as an accident.
It’s actually 2026 my person
I remember crying when I saw it on the news. I’m not even remotely French, but what a symbol of our civilization.
Also remember the [flying water tankers](https://www.cnbc.com/2019/04/15/trump-encourages-france-to-use-flying-water-tankers-for-notre-dame-fire.html) from a certain president?
Could have extinguished the fire so much faster /s
Right before everything went to shit…
Turns out the signs were there all along
Wait that was before Covid? Wow my time perception is shit
That was the start of it all!
Was there three weeks ago, the restored windows really dont have the same magic as they had before 🙁
It was 7 years ago? That’s not possible
That photo gives me some Blade Runner vibes
I remember this having wall to wall coverage. Crazy that if this happened today it would be overshadowed by dozens of news stories within a day.
Since then we’ve had a global pandemic, economic crisis, Russian invading Ukraine causing the biggest European war since WW2, runaway inflation, a genocide of Gazans by Israelis, have Trump reelected and ravage the world economy and turn the US into a fascist state. Democracy is failing worldwide with oligarchs stealing the vast amount of wealth. We also found out the president, and ruling powers in the US along with the billionaire oligarchs are part of the world biggest pedophile ring.
The cherry on top being that Trump launched an illegal offensive war against Iran to don Israel’s bidding and is failing spectacularly while killing innocent civilians in the way and causing the worst oil crisis in recent memory. Threatening to slaughter an entire civilization overnight. Every day the situation spirals more out of control and Trump becomes more unhinged.
Roaring 20s y’all…
7 years, how the time flies… won’t forget watching the news when this happened.
I was there! I remember I was walking down the street with my bf and some homeless guy shouted “NOTRE DAME IS BURNING” and we thought the guy was nuts, until we could see it for ourselves 😬
On this day (April 15th):
A. The Boston marathon bombing occurred (2013).
B. Titanic sunk (1912).
I remember my grandma calling to ask if this is real. May she rest in peace!
Gosh I remember it like it was yesterday, I can’t Beit happened before COVID.
That was hell of a year.
Tax day sucks all around.
7 years????? There’s no way…
It seemed like such a tragedy back then… Strange how few months later it was rather insignificant
And after the fire, during repairs, a video game helped with the restoration.
No, seriously.
Can’t believe it’s been three years already, damn
I flew there on the 19th that year. Never been since… couldn’t see it then. Remember being really disappointed. Kinda still am
Trump 🙄
