Photos of NotreDame cathedral show damage left by devastating fire
After the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral that broke out close to sundown Monday was contained, it became clear by Tuesday morning how significant the damage was.
Most of the art inside of the building was saved after members of the fire brigade, police officers and local officials formed a human chain to carry out many of the priceless pieces. Some of the stained glass that adorned windows dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries. While it wasn't all saved, glass on the south side of the cathedral that faces the Seine appeared intact in photos.
Photos from outside of the cathedral, looking through the front doors, showed blackened rubble inside the cathedral, with wood and other debris on the ground.The now-missing spire was added as part of a restoration effort in the mid-19th century. The flying buttresses, some of the first ever used, were added to the building plans shortly after construction began in 1163, after fractures formed in the walls due to structural pressure.
