After fire toppled the iconic spire and destroyed the roof of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France in April 2009, heated debates ensued....
It wasn't April, 2009, it was April, 2019. What the hell is wrong with these journalists?
Any moslems on the work crew?
I’m relieved that they’re rebuilding it. I had heard that there were plans to make the site a parking lot or a swimming pool.
If it was in this country, BLM would just finish burning it down.
Interesting!
What, don’t they have any Home Depots in Paris?
Thank you for posting this! I have been thinking of it ever since that awful day.
Amish do it better. The actual Amish...not the FR “Amish” .

My wife and I visited Paris in July (normally an insane idea due to tourist crowds, but there were few crowds this year) the worksite at Notre Dame is very impressive, they have covered the security fence with a systematic explanation of the restoration and repair process.
Over the past year, the crew has painstakingly reinforced the structure so that they don’t further damage the building as they remove the non-repairable portions. Now they are slowly removing the those portions and beginning the repairs.
It is a very impressive process, it is clear that the French consider this a national priority.
Thanks for posting. This is going really slow, but I’m glad to see they are doing it the right way.
