Macron's pledge to rebuild Notre Dame in five years may be possible

Many Twitter users expressed dismay this week at the "loss" of Notre Dame following the blaze that engulfed the top of the Paris cathedral on 15 April. But, thankfully, the situation isn't as disastrous as that: most of the building is still intact thanks to its clever design, and hundreds of millions of euros have already been pledged for restoration. It took around 17 hours, and the efforts of 1000 firefighters and a 500-kilogram robot, to extinguish the fire.
