Even some of the major stone structure is at a very real risk. Hard to watch.
The front towers are likely saved.
The prosecutorâs office in Paris has apparently âruled outâ arson or terrorism.
But no doubt posters on the internet, thousands of miles away from Paris know better. After all, itâs the âlaw of probabilityâ.

I think I know precisely what happen. I told you all. 
Have to say that sounds awfully premature as well.
I donât disagree. It does sound premature to me as well.
I have no idea of whats going on, on the ground.
A torchdown accident caused by negligent workers?
I have no idea if youâre right, but it certainly sounds plausible.
Why would you try to rebuild it (if it had burned down) the way it was? It would be fake.
The day it opened, yes. It would feel fake. For me, it would feel fake for the rest of my life.
But a hundred years from now, someone is going to be standing in front of those two towers, and will feel the same feeling of awe that I felt when I stood there. Notre Dame was always a patchwork, changing over time. The spire that collapsed today was 600 years younger than the cornerstone.
My Grandfatherâs Axe.
Adding to and repairing is not replacing.
That depends entirely on perspective.
I would (will) almost certainly feel the same way, should (when) they try to âfixâ Notre Dame.
Someone born a hundred years from today will have a different perspective.
The most important part the front is still intact, though is unclear how much art was destroyed.
I wonder if the Nazis didnât ransack the art when they occupied Paris. They did every where else they went. Goering had a brigade that did nothing but that- The Kunstschutz.
so much art was stolen by the Nazi good film about it.
Looks like a great flick. Iâll find it and watch it.
Thanks for that 
Great story hidden gem.
Iâm sure they did - they may have stolen some paintings off the walls - but most of the art of Notre Dame was in the building itself - and Hitler (or someone high in the Reich) had an appreciation for the building, and didnât want it damaged.
Thatâs what Iâve heard.
Itâs water proofing method that used in valleys, where the pitch of roof collided with a wall for a cricket roof/pitchâŚor roof to wall. In this case but looking at early photos of the fire it seem to originated around the base of spiral. So it would be around vertical posts that protrudes through the roof.
Thatâs all I can tell you being thousands of miles away.
