Talk:Notre Dame de Paris/@comment-998602-20190417182509

Here's some information that I've found out:

1. While the roof is gone (some of it dated to the 13th and the rest from the 19th), the stone arch under the top roof is intact. 2. The spire did fall down, but it was in the process of been restored anyway.3. One of the main stained glass windows has fallen out, but most of the other stained glass windows are okay.4. The "treasures" (sacred objects) inside the cathedral are okay. Furthermore, the 16 statues that were in the cathedral were removed 4 days prior to the fire.5. The main structure is still there and has survived the flames. All in all, Notre Dame is damaged but still here. Furthermore, President Macron of France has stated that Notre Dame will be rebuilt using international funding - with one of France's Billionaires pledging €100,000,000 towards the rebuilding of the cathedral. So while it's sad that this has happened, take heart that the Notre Dame Cathedral will one day stand tall and proud again.
