People,

What a sad event, the burning of Notre Dame.

I recorded this video very early this morning, so a lot of information has come out since then, so we now know more about what happened/is happening and how much damage the cathedral sustained

This was my reaction to the event as of early morning today - 16th of April.

Since this video I have learnt that:

The towers survived
The main (core) structure of the cathedral survived
Rebuilding will be possible due to the above points
Some incredible people have come out and pledged funds towards the rebuilding.
The holy relics: crown of thorns, tunic of Saint Louis, Holy nails and cross, etc were retrieved by a brave priest with the help of the fire fighters.

Still, the medieval roof was completely scorched. This is non-replaceable

I wan't to give a shout out to the fire fighters who did an unbelievable job and put their lives on the line to contain the catastrophe. It could have been a lot, lot worse was it not for their gallant efforts.
