The fire led to the collapse of part of the famed, symbolic spire. No cause has yet been identified.
As Macron so eloquently put it, “This is the place where we have lived all of our great moments, the epicenter of our lives. It is the cathedral of all the French.”
Or as Trump added. “I like landmarks that WEREN’T destroyed.”
The media did a bang-up job on this. CNN produced the stunning gallery linked above, and their photographer caught the spire at the moment it collapsed.
