Parisians and tourists alike remained, aghast, in the area of Cite Island, where the cathedral is located. Many of them cried and prayed for the salvation of the symbol of Paris.
“I can not believe it. The cathedral, which was under construction for almost 200 years, burned, the roof collapsed, the clock collapsed, and the spire of the tower collapsed. Now in the future history textbooks will shine the date “April 15, 2019″, meaning a terrible fire and at the same time the death of the Notre Dame de Paris. #NotreDame”
