I heard and I highly doubt that it was related to construction.  Some people inside the cathedral have denied the construction narrative as well.  Much more likely an attack by "refugess" who have already been setting fires at other Christian and Jewish religious facilities across France.

Very sad but thankfully no one was seriously injured and many items had been removed prior to the fire. They will rebuild it and return it to it's grandeur but it will be costly and take quite a long time. 

I read that the organ was saved for the most part - so beautiful. I am glad that I got to see it years ago and hope that I will get to see it again after the restoration is complete.

Ray & I were looking through our photos this evening of the cathedral. We didn't remember seeing scaffolding when we were there and wanted to see if we just hadn't noticed. It is just so heartbreaking. A love of history lost today in Paris - such a sad day.

Having lived in Paris and prior to that having travelled there frequently on business, I consider it my "second home town." I'm heartbroken and all I could yesterday as I watched the news was to cry.

Archaeologists are much aware of this subject as they search "ruins" (aptly named) for remnants of what was....So many secrets buried or lost
