ETA: York Minster was a four-year job, although the damage was likely not as severe. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-28112373 EETTAA: The Rose Window was cracked into 40,000 pieces.

In that charming accént.. a [person unknown/missed start] noted the Neglect.. of such treasure-troves across France--a charge made way-back by a cited author--then compared with U.S. 'caretaking': ~~"You are younger, and your treasures/museums and such receive more attention, Care", etc. No Excuses.. one Likes that in a spokes-person.
Post #428,462 by scoenye 4/16/19 10:03:25 PM 4/16/19 10:03:25 PM Reply	~200 years ago Notre Dame was in such a dilapidated state that the city considered tearing it down. Only Victor Hugo's book about a certain bell ringer saved it from that fate. The revival spurred the last major renovation the building has seen. But all in all, the structure has weathered the fire remarkably well. The falling spire punched a huge hole in the stone vaulted ceiling but the rest held up and protected the insides of the cathedral from total destruction. (And re. one of your other posts, there was "only" 250 ton of lead in the spire alone...)

That mere 500,000 pounds of Plumbum fell into the inferno; now lots of PbO₂ ..and much Much worse compounds have distributed ... wherever the wind blows, chemistry being such a Fraught-science ;^> (Hey!..let's stop teaching that to the tykes, too!) Test: How many recent HS-grads do you know, who can say what 'valence' means? Hmmm? :-/ (My guesstimate is that more in Paris can.. than any dis-US sample, but that's just a w.a.g.)

One of them was this cute little yellowtail, and she's giving me the eye. So I figured, this is my chance for a little fun. You know, piece o' Pisces.
