This is truly tragic, a horrible horrible sight when a landmark that’s withstood so many centuries is nearly destroyed and totally gutted by fire.
I understand the bandwagoners like to jump on and hate folks with suggestions. Glad they didn’t risk damaging the structure with airborne fire retardants, clearly letting it burn itself out has saved this building from destruction! What a good idea! 
Quoted from Frax:Are you serious right now? He wouldn't say it, but I will...the idiot that suggested dumping tons of water from planes was Trump. Clearly, someone with actual legitimate firefighting and architecture experience, as no doubt you have as well. It has nothing to do with bandwagoning, it has to do with not being a moron and crushing an 800 year old structure under the weight and impact of the water. Nobody was saying ANYTHING about fire retardant chemicals.
You do realize they have more than just water to dump from aerial vehicles?
I didn’t realize that you were the resident firefighting engineer with intimate knowledge of medieval structures!
I’m glad that Notre Dame was able to survive the fire, imagines coming from the inside seem to suggest that the vaulted stone ceiling may have been a saving grace. The collapse of the spire did punch a hole through the ceiling and nearly took out the alter, but aside from extensive water damage, the interior seems to have been spared after all. We’ll see as more reports come out.
