The carelessness of the workers involved in the restoration of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris was thought to be the reason why the 850-year-old Gothic building was blown by the flames around 7 pm this afternoon. For nearly three hours, special forces are being organized in order to extinguish the fire, which unfortunately has caused great damage.
The next 90 minutes are the last chance to save Notre-Dame. "There is a great risk. If the main bell falls, then the whole building is destroyed. There are firefighters inside and outside the building. Future minutes are crucial, "said the Commander-in-Chief of the Paris Fire Brigade.
French President Emmanuel Macron wrote in Twitter: "Notre-Dame in flames. Emotions of a whole nation. Like all my compatriots, I am saddened to see this part as I burn. "US President Donald Trump also responded by advising on using helicopters to throw water, but this is dangerous as it can hurt and collapse the building.
