Various media outlet, you can guess who they are, are saying that the rescue/donation fund has topped 1bn euros.

Now while that in itself is an awesome response to a 'national' disaster, what id like to know is, how much of that will actually be used for the re-building of ND?

Last summer, my house was greatly damaged by a fire that originated next door. I tried to put it out with a crappy garden hose. Why did no billionaires contact me? Very disappointed in their behaviour. Will never invite a billionaire round for tea again.

No insurance company in the world would touch something that valuable.

Yep....I can see insurance companies becoming increasingly reluctant to insure churches in northern Europe as the years go by.

Course it ain't insured, how is this a surprise?

Some institutions are bigger than the cost of mitigation. Royal mail don't insure their vans for example.

Same with this. A billion pounds has been pledged in 48hrs or something stupid, before the Catholic church (one of the biggest landowners on the planet) has had to put its hand in its pocket.

It makes no sense to waste money on insurance premiums.
