Very sad. Doesn't seem like they've made any progress. |

Sounds like logistically it is very difficult get a handle on. It's basically a giant kiln. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Today's technology will probably be able to rebuild the Cathedral but it won't be able to restore it's originality. MSNBC reporting the wealthy's of the world have already began to fund a restoration. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

A little over 25 years ago, Windsor Castle was extensively damaged by a similar fire. Now, Windsor isn't quite the icon and architectural wonder that Notre Dame is and there is no replacing the original wood work and items of history in either structure, they were able to rebuild in sufficient fashion to keep the original core and feel of the Castle.
Notre Dame will never be what it was, bit one hopes they can restore it to something worthy of continuing its character. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

hey...that's nothing. I was working at the Stardust in 1980 a few of us dealers went outside at about 8am to see the smoke rising over the MGM and I said 'looks big...hope they have plenty of marshmallows' ...finished my shift at noon to find out the body count was 77
moral of the story? get your distasteful jokes in early before the body count rises |

Can't say I care much about the catholic church but this fire is horrible. More importantly I hope no one got hurt though. _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good |

Money or technology can't replace that craftmanship and skills that were utilized long time ago to build this intricate building. Look at the details of the building.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre-Dame_de_Paris
The people who built this building are long gone, and I doubt there are much people around with the skill set today. |
