Just an FYI, all statues on the fallen spire were removed four days ago for renovation, and Notre Dame Paris Paris France City shirt of the “treasures” inside was not harmed. Some good news out of an awful accident. The PR fallout will be worse than the lawsuit. Also, a crew that gets to work on something as awesome as the Notre Dame is probably insured to the teeth. What’s going to happen in terms of insurance? Is some insurance company about to take a massive hit? I’d guess that Notre Dame is essentially priceless.

So upsetting to be so “unable to do something”-ish. Notre Dame Paris Paris France City shirt can’t even drop water by air supplies as it would weaken the structure too much… There are only 365 days in a year. There are tens of thousands of important historical events. On any day there will be some notable event, most likely multiple.

A spark might be able to heat up a bit of tinder or dry grass to that point and therefore start a fire, but a solid piece of wood would just Notre Dame Paris Paris France City shirt the heat and extinguish the spark. The exterior will certainly be rebuilt, but the priceless art, relics, etc., is likely gone forever. I’m hoping they manage to salvage some of it, but it’s looking grim. They were renovating the building, and I read that they removed some bronze statues for the construction, so I’m hoping they removed other stuff as well.
