I was in there in '77 and '83 I think.
never been, think the only thing i've seen is just the pictures....loved the architecture both inside and out....I was in there in '77 and '83 I think.
I'm just slack-jawed stunned to see it burn.
Being inside it felt like being in a place beyond time.
It does provide a very guilty insight into how they built the structure.
It would be a super low-exposure high-reward instance of cultural warfare, terror style. That biases my thoughts on the matter as well, especially when I think who comprises much of the unskilled/semiskilled labor pool in central Europe. I mean I think chances are less than half but more than, say, ten per cent.
The timing of the fire is beyond question my biggest hurdle to get over outright calling it an accident.
I concur heartily with that sentiment.
i concur as well, don't wanna fan the flames at it were. Course the thought is there, time will tell i guess....
usual cover story i'm guessing....till they get in there....
i am too....only seen pictures of them, some close up and some in full, incredible works they were.......
I remember my dad telling me that modern efforts to recreate Medieval stained glass have come to nought. (We were looking at similar windows in Vienna at the time, survivors of the bombings.) We don't have the recipes. And my dad is a careful researcher of such things.
i would too.....the reciepes are out there, the questions is where and in what book....they have already for reciepes of old dyes for lenin in the middle east. And i remember reading somewhere in egypt they found the reciepes as well for some of the painting media they used.....so they gotta be out there........
At least some of the news is good.
I suggest that the French authorities give the Sainte-Chapelle a good once-over. It is the single best Medieval glass monument that I know of. Started 1238; consecrated 1248. It is impossible to photograph and hard to describe how amazing the windows are in the real. I didn't want to leave.

Were you able to go the Louvre when you were there?
No. We did Paris in like 3 days 2 nights. The cathedral, Sacré-Coeur and the Sainte-Chapelle were the highlights. Oh and to the second-from-top level of the Tower.
