Its very sad seeing a World heritage landmark going up in smoke. Lets hope they can save some of it, and rebuild it.

well I'm afraid my 1st thought was God must have some sense of humour for this to happen in the most important week of the calendar for his followers......

Luckly they got most of the art and religious treasures out and the stone walls are still standing.

Considering it took nearly 200 years to build the first time round without overtime pay, it might be a while to re-build it this time.

If they rebuild it, is it the same building?

Extremely sad, either way...

Architects say Notre dame cannot be built the exact same way...

No big trees left in France to rebuild it the same way.
They will get round that one way or another, either import big tree trunks from outside France, or use metal structure hidden behind.

They were only big when viewed from Napoleon's perspective...
