It's been nearly a month since the flames leaping from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris left the world aghast.
"Like all of our countrymen, I am sad tonight to see part of us burning," French President Emmanuel Macron said on the day of the fire. "Nothing is impossible to a French general," Georgelin told Muir, saying he agrees with Macron that Notre Dame could reopen within five years.Inside, the charred remnants of the collapsed spire still traverse the nave of the cathedral -- two giant holes in the ceiling letting raindrops in, despite protective netting put in place to stop debris from falling into the church below.
The fire, still under investigation, burned through nearly two thirds of the roof and about 400 tons of lead designed to keep the walls from collapsing in the medieval cathedral. Today, workers inside the church wear protective suits and masks to keep away from the lead and take blood tests to make sure their blood lead levels are still normal, Georgelin said.
