To be honest it's much better then expected. People were talking about how the entire structure would collapse
You're right. But from the way it looked when the fire was happening, I would have never thought so much of the cathedral would survive!
Typical hysterical reaction from most of the media. The damage is bad of course but nowhere near as bad as many cathedrals by the end of WW2 all of which stand today and look as though they are in totally original state.
Paul Lewis EXACTLY. The histrionics are overwhelming.
Well jury is still out on the condition of the masonry on the rest of the building. One would think that the stone portions would survive the fire just fine, however, apparently limestone is susceptible to dissolving in combination with intense heat and water, two components present during the conflagration. Add to that the state of the limestone which was already poor where it was falling apart already in different areas of the cathedral which was one of the reasons it was being restored, and it may be the case that entire sections need to be brought down and rebuilt from the ground up. What we see today may not be as simple as adding or building up on what remains. So while it's encouraging to see the main portion of the cathedral and much of the art and relics intact, people need to be patient and wait to see what the experts determine the true nature and degree of the damage is.
And bcuz it was planned all the precious relics were saved in advance
This interior is far better that I thought
And that is a big relife

This was a controlled fire. A money grab and as well Frances only way to try to stop the Yellow Vest Movement. To create a international tragedy.
Thanks to the Fire Service of Paris
Water damage from fire trucks is just as damaging as fire damage. They need to act quickly.
Stone Dosent burn
Glad most of it's still intact. I was seriously scared that the whole thing was going to become destroyed.
How would that be possible? The walls are made in stone. Stone does not burn.
@@flowerpower9741
No but stone can crack if you heat it up long enouff.
Cracked ston is weaker and easily collapsed if you put to much preashure on it.
Notre Dame is a couple of ton of stone, and that means a lot of preashure normaly.
A fire like that?
And add that it was being renovated allready? I hope they find zero cracks, but you never know.
But stone does start turning into dust after a certain amount of time in contact with such heat and it may also be that the stone of the building is now unstable...
@@altair8994 lol Over 100 degrees! More like over 1500. But stil...it's over 100, so you are very clever. Congratulations!
@@flowerpower9741 oh thank you how nice of you ;)
“Inside the cathedral” Shows about a five second shot that everyone on earth has already seen. Four minutes of some woman talking and some people outside singing. No new footage from inside.

Ай мер it was bound to happen eventually, it’s hundreds of years old. Additionally, out of all things, why would they burn down a church lmao
It has burned, been bombed, attacked by angry mobs and yet, after the smoke clears, She still stands. It is tragic for us all to lose history, even small parts of it. I am grateful for the history they saved. Even more grateful no lives were lost saving it ✌️
Amen👍
It never got bombed. In the World Wars people actually took care and didn't bomb any historical buildings or civilian districts (besides in Germany, there they destroyed the Frauenkirche and attacked civilians on purpose). Both applies here.
Notre Dame shall be fully restored. God bless
johnny1992black Ra The people are to blame, not the religion. War and imperialism wasn’t exclusive to Christianity. It’s been practiced by all different faiths and cultures for all of time, it’s something wrong in human nature, not religion.
@@RyosukeTakahashiRX7 even then France got off likely in terms of bombings, especially compared to Britian, Germany or America
As an architecture and history fanatic I remember first hearing the news and breaking down in tears. I really hope this beautiful piece of heritage will be renovated
It will be by 2024...".french compagnons " make an amazing job ...Notre Dame de Paris will be most beautiful as ever 🙏🌟❤️
They’re rebuilding it with the money the stole from African countries
Congratulation to the Firemen of Paris for so quick and efficient reaction. God bless you
dont rejoyce yet . they still have to determine if the material composing the structure was compromised and if its the case at what percentage was it . you'd be suprised on how much heat can weaken a structure
They said the firefighters came after three hours!
@@daveoliver5838 Go figure
took 2 hours to respond if thats quick... yikes
I was just going to say it took them forever to get there! I felt like I was watching the cathedral burn forever. Thankfully it’s not beyond repair
Got to give the stone masons of the 1100's-1300's credit. Without their excellent craftsmanship and sturdy building methods, the whole cathedral could have been lost. The stone ceiling of the main worship area caught most of the burning timbers from the roof and prevented most of it from falling into the main church area itself.
Old is better
Yes. It took 200 years to build.
@@dianavance1137 it certainly is. Do we know what the original structure looked like? I can't imagine that the beautiful masonry of the walls and foundation was made by the same people as "the forest" /pine attic/roof.
Exactly, master's of their craft

U guys realize that brass doesn’t burn as easily as wood right
It’s amazing how the cross is still in good shape and is standing
Probably because wood burns at a higher rate than gold
Looks like a lot of stained glass survived, thank God. That's the most beautiful part.
Jim Mooney And what glass didn't survive, they have enough up close photos, that a top notch historic restorator could recreate it.
Ye true, the skill to make that kind of glass hasnt disappeared anywhere....ofc the colors might not be exactly the same as they were in old ones, but trough the pictures they would able to create very accurate new glass.
Also its good to see that the firecrew was able to limit the fire inside so that when the burning roof collapsed, it didnt cause more damage aside from smoke and water to the interior of the building.
Hard to say what the actual cost of this might be and how long it takes to rebuild, but I would say that the worst estimates from 1 billion and many decades might be avoided here. It quite honestly seems that the damage was largely limited to the roof itself.
Jim Mooney God doesn't exist.
lol that's because glass is literally made with fire.

THANK YOU... no new design! Restore to make it look like before the fire s'il vous plait.
yes, but with fireproof materials! I would discard the wood
Mr NixxxoN the wood still have to stay for religious and beliefs reasons as well as value in architecture and beauty and also historical reasons
@@littlenightk how exactly is that? construction materials have nothing to do with religion. In fact most cathedrals are entirely built on stone and have no wood
Mr NixxxoN I might be wrong on the the hold religion thing as I'm not religious myself but the cathedral was built with wood so rebuilding it with the exact same wood if they could find it and I do know that it won't have the same age but that way they could at least preserve a part of how the cathedral originally was look like and kinda "feel" like preserving a part of history (I use quotes because I can't think of a better way to explain) I'm not sure about other countries such as France but in my country restoration is usually using the same materials and in my country wood in shrine or temples does serve a religious reason PS: I hope you can understand what I'm trying to say I do hope that you would understand that I'm not French so my argument could be very wrong
@@littlenightk the wood part did not have that much architectural value. Just a lot of wooden beams put together. They didnt have better lighter materials back then, in my opinion its time to move on from that flammable danger
let's not forget the firefighters , without whom this building would not be standing
Robert HUN
Exactly!
@@daveoliver5838 Excuse me sir, you should forward this question to a fireman participating in the intervention.
No offense.
BS. They turned up late with one fire engine. They are the military and are a corporation like every other organisation in the stinking EU. Including governments.
Right… because stone is famous for not surviving fires… it’s not like we make fire pits out of the stuff.
Heartbreaking loss of beautiful architecture, history and culture for the people of France and the world. Amazing so much was preserved
☝🙏⛪❗
10 years or so from now people will tour the cathedral and likely the only sign they will see of what happened yesterday will be a display and possibly a blackened bit of wall to remember the great fire of 2019.
There will also be the 10,000 UA-cam videos blaming it on liberals or conservatives or aliens or masons or Muslims or lizards or satanists...
You just know that somewhere a conspiracy nutjob is currently at work writing their next book on how Notre Dame must have been hit by a stray Higgs particle while CERN were trying to summon demons. You just know it! Simpletons are anything if not predictable.
@@krashd muslims did do it
Average of 3 churches attacked in France per day. A jihadi was arrested 3 days prior trying to blow up the Notre Dame. There were not working on site hours prior to the burning. Get your head out of you as* rob

Thankful they'll rebuild the same design. Was afraid of some glass pyramid thing like at the Louvre!
People have been panning that pyramid for a couple of decades now.. but actually it allows that natural light to the lower levels... as before it was a dark and unwelcoming intro to the museum. (I always cheat anyway and use the entrances below from the Metro... no lines.)
You are so right, having seen that awful glass pyramid, its such an eyesore. Its way more ugly in person. Whoever signed off on that is a total idiot.
yeah but remember that it wont be the original cathederal anymore but only a carbon copie of the old one .not to mention that the heat was probably so intense that a lot of the structure will probably need to be demolished and replace with new material
@@guytremblay1647 most of the building isnt original anyway
Thank you Kitsie! Hopefully they will not rebuild Notre Dame with MODERN ARCHITECTURE! Like the ugly glass pyramid at the Louvre! (We know why they chose a pyramid!) It will be a disaster! I'm Mauritian and French and I'm scared of that. Kiss from Mauritius
I went to France about a year and a half ago, although I didn’t get to go inside the cathedral, I got to admire it from the outside. Notre Dame Cathedral is beautiful in photographs (it is beautiful in general, obviously) but to see it in person is something I feel I can’t put into words. It was just so large and intricate it seemed so majestic. The hotel I stayed at was a mere 10 minutes away from Notre Dame, I could have walked to it if I wanted to. Although this event is tragic, I will admit that the photos taken from the inside didn’t make the interior damage look too bad. This cathedral has stood in France for almost 1,000 years, it has stood tall through many tragedies. It has been on this planet for so so long, thousands of minutes and hours, and yet it was nearly destroyed in a few hours. I find it interesting how something can survive somewhere for so long, but get torn down quickly. This is horrific and I hope Notre Dame is restored to greatness.
It'll be okay. This is not the first time Notre Dame has been damaged
I hope so too,rebuild and more beautiful 😇
My sister was visiting Paris when this happened. She had just went to the Cathedral an hour before it burned and she watched history from a next door shop. So crazy!!
I like that in these pictures we see even in all that destruction, the cross still stands!

Rebuild it EXACTLY like it was!
@@kroyweb4140 who says that if we would build it different they would not try to burn it again?
Kroy Web maybe they’ll have better security this time
this is impossible unless you can find wood that is exactly the same age
Kroy Web How do you know it was terrorists?
That would be the worst case. It should be rebuild with steel for example, like the Cologne cathedral. That way it will be harder to burn again
I'm so happy most of the cathedral survived
The Cross is still standing. In Christ Jesus 🌹27🌹
As a parisian I'm really grateful for the caring of all the people around the world. It makes me so proud of our ancestors.
I'm really curious how they'll made the new roof and spire.
For history-art lover and if you dont know them - I invite you to check 2 others magestics gothic cathedrals which are :
Notre Dame de Rouen and Notre Dame de Reims (same period built, same style)
I'm happy to see the people of France in good spirit 😊
Thank God the organ wasn't too badly damaged
I’ve restored three pipe organs that survived church fires. In consideration of the damage I’m seeing to the interior of the Cathedral, Im confident the only damage to the Cavaille Coll organ will be smoke and suet but every square millimeter of exposed surface throughout the organ will need to be cleaned. Pipe organs are normally rebuilt and refurbished once or twice a century and much old, absorbent material like leather and felt is replaced with new leather and felt. It’ll be time for that at the very least. Any notion that organ building “is a lost art” should be immediately dismissed. At no time in the past 500 years have organ builders not been producing pipe organs and passing on their knowledge to the next generation.
mark spannar what the hell is wrong with you
@@gondolacrescent5 You say 500 years. The cathedral was built about 800 years ago. Did it not have an organ for the first 300 years?

I was there 14 years ago! It was a breathtaking, life-changing experience.
ali balci France didn’t even have colonies when this Cathedral was constructed. And yes, the colonial empires did some bad things, but even they no longer consider it okay. They can never make up for what they did, but you can at least be nice and be thankful that they don’t like it any longer.

This comment is like every white girl ever that once went to the Notredam
a good amount of it still seem in tact. i thought it was alot worse tbh.
Of course it was built from stone
Good thing the flames didn't spread and heat the bells though. If they heated and fell it would have been game over.

it looks pretty good inside actually! Spectacular flames seemed to miss the stone and marble structures. They don't burn, but they might crack… I think they put the fire out before any serious foundation cracking.
@Kissing Bandit If you bothered to educate yourself and see beyond the mainstream narrative, you would find that Notre Dame was actually burned down by to distract from the fact that Israel burned down the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the same night.
Waa Ey - You stupid mutt,. Haha. Al Aqua didn't burn down. There was a fire and it was quickly put out. Don't tell lies and don't try to make trouble where none exists.
@Amy Sternheim Although I can provide no concrete evidence that Israel were behind the fires, I can say with great certainty that Notre-Dame and Al-Aqsa both burned on the same night, and something seems off there.

This makes the 4th Cathedral in France that has been on fire recently
Don't say who probably did it or the govt will arrest you for hate speech
The voice of reason or a worker’s cig
db proof?
@@Kermit_Savage : Cave tibi et flammas fan !
db oh,....now why would anyone do that? We are supposed to have blinders on and reject the fact that they are HATE CRIMES!
A spire doesn't just spontaneously combust. Im not saying it was arson. But somebody dropped the ball.
Who knows. I hope nothing is ruled out. I was thinking along the lines of a possible terrorism. But I too am thinking arson. I hope no one was inside when it was engulfed in flames. I am hoping that the cathedral is able to be saved.
@@annetteslife they were doing renovation work on the cathedral and I heard that hot coal was dropped on some wood not confirmed
@@thwalesproductions oh okay thank you for the information
We all know that an inordinate number of Catholic Churches have been burned down in France in the past year, don't we?
@@jonalberts980 I have known about the Jehovah's witnesses Kingdom Halls being burnt to the ground in recent years. I haven't listened quite that often about Catholic Churches being destroyed. I am hoping that this monument is able to salvaged and restored in its original form.
It’s amazing how the structure didn’t fall apart
Not really. It’s mostly stone and brass, which have a much higher melting point than the heat of a wood fire.
A positive news finally ♥️🤟🏽
It is necessary to restore this great
cathedral ! Ամեն🙏 ✝️
Barev 🇦🇲 ❤️
600 million Euros could feed a lot of hungry people and would be more in tune with the teachings of Jesus of Nazarath
For whom?
Yes, it is. Cities need their souls.
More necessary than hospitals or something, I don't know, useful?
800 years old. Survive the Dark Ages! Survived World War 1! Survival World War II! Survive the Blitz and it will survive this.
Paris wasn't actually Blitzed like England and later Germany were.
I feared that the whole building would be in ruins, but glad to see that most of the structure is still standing. Hope the reconstruction operation goes well, God bless Paris.
It breaks my heart. I was hoping from deep inside that nothing is lost but...
I am glad it can be still restored.
So sad , what happened to it
I loved it last year when I visited for my birthday.
For the love of God don't change the design, PLEASE!
Keep it the same as it was.
They can't keep it the same, some things they used to build certain parts were irreplaceable or now hard to get/find. Like giant oak trees, for example.
As a Muslim this saddens me.
I've always looooved churches, beautiful architecture.
Thank you. I've noticed how people of true faith are the most tolerant of each other. Its the fundamentalists and the aetheists who are the most intolerant in society and cause all the problems.
@@keivefy And what do the atheist do to cause the problems? Here in the West its the muslims causing the problems since they wanna force their religious habits on everyone.
@@RockyMcBalz The aetheists want to force their beliefs on everyone else. The want to control the schools, the healthcare system, the universities. Separation of church and state to them means we all have to live a secular life wheather we want to or not.
@@keivefy No, it's the other way around. You Christians are forcing your beliefs on atheist. The state is for the people and not all the people are Christians that's why it should be seperate. State has nothing to do with religion.
RockyMcBalz 2010 honestly there’s no point in arguing with him. Anyone who thinks schools should teach fairytales over science or the the government should be corrupted by religion is just brainwashed.
My heart is breaking😓💔💔💔💔
Truly!🙌
But I'm so thankful what was saved! 💖
The destruction is devastating. Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ! No one died and the altar was not destroyed. The rest will be rebuilt. Miracles. May the people of Paris remain resilient. God bless!
The altar of consecration is the only thing that I wish was destroyed..... it was hideous and unworthy for such a magnificent church.
@amy benje Amy ,,,, what if someone alters the altars?
Jesus said, “Do you see all these great buildings? Not one stone will be left on another. Every stone will be thrown down to the ground.”
notre-dame: *burns to a crisp.*
everyone else: **sad noises**
jontron: *S RANK, IN YOUR ATTEMPT TO DESTROY IT YOU MADE IT STRONGER.*
This building is over 800 years old, it took 200 years to build... It has survived so many wars, 1 fire and...
A few news articles said "a new spire, adapted to the techniques and challenges of our time," will be added. This could mean that they might create some hideous abomination resembling that of the London Shard, a modern architects false and warped idea of beauty if you will. We should NOT let this happen!
@@jerrytheracecardriver1100 I agree, their little political statement piece will be met with harsh criticism and injuries.
Tim Slee what’s the point of ruining the spire? It benefits no one. They will obviously rebuild the spire to look exactly the same as the old one but use “new techniques” and structural reinforcement that makes it more structurally sound. Don’t worry if you’re walking by it will look exactly the same as the old one. This new version will just last another 1000 years.
There’s actually a lot of discussion around this happening here in France. I think most people want to see it rebuilt as close to the original as possible but I think politicians might hope for a newer take on the spire for glory’s sake. I personally love the modern glass pyramid at the louvre but I would hate to see a modern spire in the middle of this monument of gothic art. Hopefully the fact that the building is part of the Unesco world heritage means the original design will be preserved
The French would never allow that to happen lmao I’m not worried at all
@@ninja1inblack105 I appreciate your optimism but I have my doubts. Political statement pieces are very powerful and politicians will certainly push for a newer spire because of this.
OMG! Our wonderful Cathedral! 😰 It's been through so much! All us french are in shock. It has been a place not just for worship but refuge for so many! Dieu nous a abandonné.💔✝
You have abandoned HIM first, come back to Him FAST
Many of us in America are also in shock. I cried as this was happening live on tv. Was lucky enough to visit the cathedral in 2000: & it was the experience of a lifetime to be there! I love the French people: & the Parisians were all so kind to me, as I struggled to get by with my limited French! My patron saint is Jean d'Arc. France has had so much heartbreak, but she always perseveres. Your cathedral will rise again from the ashes. May Our Lady bless Her namesake, & all who love the beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame!
14 th century building burns for 15 hours no collapse building is saved.
20th century building burns for 2 hours and collapses at free fall speed
Makes sense to me now
Didn't collapse was blown to kingdom come, thermonuclear explosion and the usage of the word 'collapse' was used over and over again to brainwash the people, but in reality it was blown to pieces.
What a great pity! It is a misfortune to have lost such a historical heritage.
An important symbol not only for France, but for the world!
One of the most famous the great cathedral. An unfortunate tragedy.
It is an immense pain to know that a historical and cultural value is absorbed by the flames. Hopefully it can be restored.
I am neither a believer nor rich, but I am going to give some money to rebuild this building .... because it is the know-how of the workers of the old times that the next generations can continue to admire ... I do not care about the kings of the Pharaohs of the idols of the gods .... what remains after centuries is the work of those who built these monuments is what we admire and can touch and it is the work of simple people .... like me ...
You sir ARE an example of human goodness!
Why not give the money to those who need it? Feed the widows and the orphans
Big Jim before you give your highly taxed hard earned money look into how much gold art and real estate the Vatican owns. Would Jesus collect rare million dollar art while people starve ?
Meanwhile the pilot who flew sala in the plane in still at the bottom of the sea, nobody has funds to help bring him to land
You're going to Hell for not believing but at least you're doing a good thing. remember, Jesus loves you and wants to make you his own forever. Read John 3:16 "
For God so loved the world that he gave his only son for whosoever believes in him shall not perish but live eternal life"
"you have to see what is original and what is new" I think everything should look just as it was. It's a landmark exactly how it was and it's not something to play around with. Is it not historic? No. It is historic. It's the historic repair from the 2019 fire which will be talked about thousands of years from now.
Puts a smile on my face. I mean the cathedral was a part of my childhood and now its destroyed😢. But that's now history, Just imagine that in several years from now this event will be written in our history books. Thus, with the technology of today this monument will be repaired in a low ammount of time. Also the Kids in 20 years from now will believe with difficulty that this fire happened at all.

@@Rosie05610 You are all over this comment section... If you really followed Christ, you'd be spending your limited time on earth helping to feed the hungry & take care of the poor - instead of making all these idiotic, barely literate statements. Your hatred of Catholics is *obviously* so much bigger than your love of God.
@@Rosie05610 i avoid as much sins as possible and i believe in God. When i said it puts a smile on my face, i didnt mean it. All i meant was that thats a historic momentum. And that after the restoration is completed i will have to teach something to my Kids in the future
I can't get over the fact the stained glass is still there... how it has survived that heat is quite incredible.
It’s so horrible what happened. I wish that this didn’t happen. At least no one got hurt and it wasn’t completely destroyed.
A reminder that nothing lasts forever. No matter how well we try to preserve it...
And the Cross still stands. Jesus Christ is Magnificent.
Because it was out of the way like the window, not a miracle, but a stroke of luck. It was also made of metal - gold I believe.
@@sstrand There was a pile of burnt rubble directly in front of the Cross. Yet "A Stroke of Luck" saved the Cross? Believe (or lack there of) what you want. I choose Faith in Christ, over Luck of Circumstances...
@mark spannar Leave your sins out of this.
No, science is magnificent. Gold has a melting point of 1064 °C and a wood fire bruns at around 600 °C , so it‘s actually pretty logical that the cross is in a much better condition than the rest of the cathedral that got affected by the fire
@@ming8347 While Science is Magnificent as well, it was a gift from God. God gave us the brains to develop things using Science. All sorts of things. Your argument however unfortunately doesn't hold much weight. I say that because the Cross I was speaking of, is actually a Gold Plated Cross. Much thinner density than a solid gold Cross. So using the Science you have brought to the conversation, it should indeed have melted given the heat surrounding it or directly applied. Either way, the Cross was saved. God and God given Science are both Magnificent.
Yoo that vid was lit! 🔥
Isn’t it wild that all that rubble was surrounding a seemingly untouched cross?
Fucking legendary
good thing about stone is it doesn't burn
but it get superheated like the old bread ovens, it could have ignited the rest by heat
broomstone does
those roof beams surely will burn well. They are lucky they contained the fire like they did, said was four hundred firemen!
The shit still cracks and losses integrity.
The stone is supported by wood.
So said. But very strong people this will prevail prayers on the rebuild and going forward to the future
It's still awesome
Some structures built in our modern era are less resilient than this 850 year old cathedral. We have so much to learn from our past. Glad to see the damage is not as extensive as it could've been.
Wow, what tragic news. I’ve visited the site multiple times, and I can’t believe this has happened. I’m just happy the fire was not worse, as others have commented. Notre Dame cathedral is a piece of human history that must be protected. Almost a millennium old, the likes of Shakespeare, Newton, and Leonardo da Vinci likely witnessed Notre Dame with their own eyes. Think about that!
