Paris firefighters manage to save many artifacts from Notre Dame fire
Though the spire at Notre Dame cathedral was destroyed along with 2/3 of the wooden roof, the firefighting squad in Paris thankfully managed to save a lot of the historical artifacts kept inside:
But this is where the French showed genuine heroism. Not only did the Chaplain of the Paris Firefighters plunge into the blaze to save the Blessed Sacrament and the Crown of Thorns, but a human chain of firefighters was formed to save the treasures inside. [...]There may be some Americans donating to the repairs needed too (Update: for example, Apple Corporation). But going forward, sites like these will require much security, scrutiny and safety devices in order to keep these valuable artifacts safe. The authorities are still claiming it was not arson, but at this point, I wouldn't trust them one bit, and I'm sure plenty of others don't either. With so many Islamofascist attacks on churches lately, nothing can be ruled out.
Additionally, French billionaire François-Henri Pinault said he and his family will give 100 million Euros for the reconstruction of the cathedral. Pinault’s son François-Henri Pinault, the president of the Artemis Group holding company, said, "This tragedy strikes all the French, and well beyond that, all those dedicated to spiritual values. Faced with such a tragedy, everyone wishes to revive this jewel of our heritage as quickly as possible."
