Notre Dame is on Fire

Also, its a divine miracle the stained glass windows survided. The three large rose windows are irreplacable. Itd be like burning the Mona Lisa, since these three are basically to stained glass what the Mona Lisa is to paintings.

Divine miracle? No. Physics and hard work? Yes.
The firefighters put a ton of effort into protecting various assets.

Over 900m euros have now been raised to help rebuild it. Sadly, though France's President Macron wanted it to be rebuilt within 5 years in time for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, contractors are saying that it could take 20-40 years to rebuild if they want the job done right, as it will take time to get wood and stone sourced from the same regions used in the original Notre Dame, and it will take time to improve the structure to protect against massive damage in the future.

It can be done, but it will require extensive man power and coordination... Which doesn't come cheap.

I would prefer they took their time and did it right the first time.
