The Spire was taken out but the main complex/bell towers seem to have survived.

They already have a billion dollars to rebuild it. I'm sure it will be rebuilt more beautiful than ever. This happened during Holy Week. God works in mysterious ways. This could be a spiritual reawakening for France.

It was nice to see that many of the buttresses were still there and the number of artifacts that were saved or werent damaged seriously. The damage though is still huge and it may take decades to rebuild.

So far $900 million dollars has been received and it could be 5 years or more before anyone other than restorers will be able to enter the cathedral.
