But it's not one or the other. Why the need to compare them?

The BBC spent more than 15 minutes reporting the Notre Dame fire on its main news bulletin last night. A bit over the top to report on a fire in a cathedral for that length of time when there are far more important things in the world they could have been reporting on. People are more important than buildings, regrettable that it is that the fire did this damage.

It's an historical building that's 800 years old which has been badly damaged. The fire at St Pauls and it's rebuilding during the Great Fire is still, 300 years later, a important part in the history of London. People around the world knew of Notre Dame long before we were here and people will remember the fire long after we're gone.
A few days on that isn't too much coverage IMO.
