Notre-Dame cathedral catches fire…

One of France’s most iconic landmarks caught fire late Monday evening. Flames rushed through this historic monument destroying the spire as well as the 90-metre ceiling, that came crashing down. Four hundred firefighters were able to contain and control the fire by Tuesday morning, and thankfully were able to save all of the artwork. The start of the fire is inconclusive at the time of writing, but is believed to be an accident as Notre-Dame has been undergoing major renovations. Read the full story here.
