It's very sad to see so much great craftsmanship destroyed, craftsmanship that took many years to complete wiped out in just 9 hours. I visited the cathedral every time i was in Paris and every time it was an inspiration to see the amazing carvings and intricate stained glass windows. At least France still has some amazing artisans, people who can still produce works of art by traditional methods, although i am sure modern scanning techniques, 3D printing and CNC machines will be used to speed up the process. To that end they already have more than
half a billion in donations to help with the rebuild.
