Innovation and exploration in the Middle Ages resulted in the creation of wider vaults that would better allow for elaborate windows than previous Romanesque churches

When the spire crashed through [the cathedral], that was a problem obviously and in some places the fire got through, but most of the vaults seem to have survived, which is a testament to how well they were put together in the 12th century

Notre Dame's 13th-century wooden roof will be replaced, Dr Bork said, most likely with meta

The coming days are going to involve a lot of trying to understand what we're dealing with, but people will have to be patient," as far as a restoration timescale is concerned.

It just takes a lot of time and a lot of money

French media have quoted the Paris fire brigade as saying the fire was "potentially linked" to a 6 million euro ($9.5 million) renovation project on the church's spire and its 227 tonnes of lead, taking place as the fire broke out.

Because the area where the restoration work was happening was the one that was most badly destroyed, it may be very difficult to find clear, visible traces, but it does seem more than coincidental that what happened at Notre Dame today also happened two decades ago at the Chapel of the Holy Shroud in Turin, Italy

Notre-Dame Appears Structurally Sound After Fire, as Investigators Look for Cause

LINK

That's a relief.  It's great to know

Money is pouring in towards the reconstruction/repair

Humanity is capable of great things, big and small

Maybe we need to burn LTYC and ensure he is structurally sound then.... Laugh Til You Fry.. hmmm.... burn out the dross and leave the whole man exposed to the world.....
