Perhaps like the President you should engage your brain here. Logistically


the cathedral is in a difficult location, on an island in the Seine. It took fireboats a while to get into position and they can't get water up that high for the most part. The fire started and spread quickly; the roof was engulfed and collapsed in about an hour. How long do you think it would take to fill tankers with water even assuming they have any available?

Apparently some people can't help but be armchair quarterbacks. Given the importance of Notre Dame to the French I'm sure they're doing all they can.
