Not much could get me to go hang out on Twitter but when my friend dropped this in Slack...

I haven't been able to look away. Heartbreaking. I hope no one is hurt.

My god. It looks like the climax of a horror movie, the spire orange with flame.

It looks terrible. I hope no died or dies in there.

Honestly, that doesn't even seem possible. A world without Notre Dame is unthinkable. I hope they're able to save most of it and rebuild what is damaged.
