    Short answer: yes.

    I think they should just put a transparent dome over it.

      Good point.

            I don't know anything about Notre Dame in particular, but "Pillars of the Earth" was a surprisingly good novel for a story about building a cathedral, and the only Follett novel I could really get into.

              Just saw a CNN update showing people taking art out of the cathedral and to safe places. This was after the fire- so more indicators that the fire didn't spread as feared- kept to the roof, mostly.

                I recommend this book:



                It's a children's book but it's beautifully done, with lovely drawings about each stage of construction and a storyline about the social, religious, and economic motives of the builders, the churchmen, etc.

                      CNN also discusses just how the erronious reports came about. And funny enough, it mirrors just what we saw develop in our thread.

                          I read somewhere that the trees used for the majority of the interior were planted in the 8th century and the roof weighed 21 tons.

                            Hearing since this was state owned, there was no insurance... since the state has infinitely greater resources than any private insurer.
