https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/notre-dame-fire/h_2307dcff434e15df425c4c3354bc534bThe French civil security agency, Sécurité Civile, has responded to US President Donald Trumps suggestion that flying water tankers should be used to fight the Notre Dame fire.
The agency tweeted, The drop of water by air on this type of building could indeed result in the collapse of the entire structure.
The weight of the water and the intensity of the drop at low altitude could indeed weaken the structure of Notre-Dame and result in collateral damage to the buildings in the vicinity, it said.
