Notre-Dame de Paris is burning.

It is awful :(

Just a building but... ugh... difficult to watch such an iconic part of history laid to waste.


Construction worker strikes again?

Terrible cultural loss for France and the world

Just plain sad...

Former condition of the structure :

Didn't know they had the thorny crown preserved, heard they rescued it! Imagine working on something you will not see finished in your lifetime. Looks like they can rebuild and most of the structure was saved.

Brilliant woodwork without power tools..
