Is your assertion that it's better to leave Notre Dame a burned out husk since we don't have the original construction methods/techniques/materials to work with?

There are a lot of uninformed assertions being bandied about right now. Fact is, we DO have the necessary methods, materials, and skills to restore Notre Dame to its original specs.

I highly doubt that it will be rebuilt with any flammable materials. I'm thinking structural steel or composite materials for the roof members and exterior sheathing. Damaged stone and plaster elements will be replaced with the same, fabricated and installed by skilled craftsmen.

So when the muzzies eventually destroy Michelangelo's David, you'll be fine with a poured concrete replacement?
