I imagine they will. There are some amazing craftsmen who are very skilled in ancient techniques. It's an art in itself over there. They will rebuild it, and plenty of artisans will be honored to be a part of it. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It is very sad. Hopefully it is rebuilt properly. Multitudes of historical buildings have been damaged throughout history and repaired (some better, some worse). Hopefully this will just add to the history of the church and not be a detriment. I would really hope they rebuild it like the Japanese rebuild their castles; using all the old techniques and skills. They will rebuild it, and plenty of artisans will be honored to be a part of it. |

While the whitewash will eventually be complete, I'm interested in who the workers were in that area and how the fire started shortly after the cathedral closed for the day. You do know that the other churches attacked in France all got hit after closing?
Could be welding sparks, a torch happy roofer, cigarettes carelessly discarded, or something else. Not that any of this matters because the truth will never be known for sure. It'll be bull dozed and the site will be made into some kind of peace memorial. |

They're trying to keep the rest of the city from burning down. The building never had a chance. There's not much you can do with a building of that size with a massive amount of 800 year old dried wood as fuel. "Surround and drown" was the only option. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Oh my God this is terrible. This great cathedral has been standing for 850 years and we are now watching it be destroyed. This is just terrible. - Purgatory wasn't even defined when construction began. - Genghis Kahn was one year old when construction began. - The 3rd Crusade was 20 years after construction began. - Manuscripts were still only used by monks. It would be another hundred years until manuscripts made their way into cities. France was actually one of the first. This is a big loss |

The scaffolding does make construction/reconstruction related structure fire the most likely cause of we're guessing.
That said knowing what I know about the US, I'd be really surprised if they didn't have insane fire hazard rules with an abundance of safety. The kind of outfit that would secure a job like that would have to be squared away. If this was the cause I can't imagine then securing more work. |
