    I wonder if you feel as strongly about @B-Bob and his hot take about this being a terrorist attack.

    Save your fake outrage.

    :( Wow, thanks for sharing. Had not seen that view. Basically everything wood or glass, you have to think, is no more.

    I feel as though when we took the tour a few years ago they recounted some other times that they had fires and had to rebuild parts. Perhaps I don't remember correctly.

    Also, it looks like most of the super structure and interior are OK? Lost basically the entire wooden lattice work roof and the spire, but it appears as though the interior will be salvageable. Also looks like the Rose windows are OK.

    Wow. Huge event considering how historic that building is. It's existed almost 3x longer than the United States.

    I did a search on this site and didn't see where you started a thread on them. Why did you speak nary a word?
