Notre Dame is burning.
It has been undergoing nearly $7 million in renovations, and the fire is thought to have started somewhere in that area.
Thankfully, the bronze statues were removed last week, so they could be worked on. They're trying to save the artwork in the basement, as I'm typing this.
The roof and central spire have fallen in.
A spokesman is saying, "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame."
That beautiful Paris cathedral...heartbreaking.
Update: Sounds like they've slowed the fire down -- and the frame is still sort-of intact. Both towers have been saved.
Update: As of early Monday evening Colorado time, the fire is largely out. (Thank God...and I mean that literally.) More was saved from the interior's central area than previously thought- some, if not most, of the wooden pews are intact. See this link for more.
