Notre Dame, the 800 years old central cathedral of Paris, is on fire.

Here are two short videos at the beginning of the fire 1 2. The second one shows scaffolding around the 90 meter high spire above the middle of the church.
The fire began at about 19:00 local time (17:00 utc , 12:00 EST).
(Update 12:30)
This video was shot some 15 minutes after the pictures and videos above. Half of the roof is already burning.

(update 1:00 PM) Video of the spire falling down. (end update)
Church roof fires are uncontrollable. The whole roof is likely to come down into the church and burn whatever flammable it finds inside.
Some joker on Wikipedia changed the “Functional Status” of the church to “On Fire”.
Let’s hope that the beautiful windows survive.
My sincere condolences to France over this huge loss.
(We probably can’t blame the neocon Géraud Araud for this but how about Macron?)
