I was so sad to hear about the devastation.  Paris is still on the bucket list and a visit to Notre Dame would have been in order.   At least part of the building survived and will be rebuilt.   

Last i heard the organ appears to have survived but they have to see how much damage there was to the inner workings of the organ.

(Yeah, Paris statutes, you have been advised the day will come when Sprite75 will show up with that G-D camera of his that is the bane of Roman and Spanish statutes everywhere).

I would have loved to have seen Notre Dame in its full glory.  While I'm sure they will do their best to rebuild and restore-I'm betting it won't be the same.  Like others have said-this was a terrible loss for the worlds of art, architecture, faith, and history.

There is one thing I just have to say.  There's  this pic of a gold cross that survived the fire and peolle are calling it a holy miracle.

Yeah,  wood,  the main fuel for the fire,  burns at ~ 600C.

Gold melts at ~ 1050C.

It's not much of a miracle that a gold cross survived a fire that was ~  40% below its melting point.

Lloyds of London estimates it will take 20 years & $8 billion to restore.

Is sounds like many primary and ancient structures survive; the roof was not nearly as old as the building. 

There is hope.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
