NYTimes: How the Notre-Dame was almost a total loss
The New York Times has an exclusive booklet article, which
is well illustrated with animated gifs and interactive diagrams in the online version. It
is “Notre-Dame came far closer to collapsing than people knew; this is how it
was saved”.
There are multiple authors: Elian Peltier, James Glanz, Mika
Grondahl, Weiyi Cai, Adam Nossiter, and Liz Alderman.
A new employee noticed the alarm, and another person went to
the wrong place, losing precious time.
It sill isn’t clear what started the fire, but the
Catherdral had obviously not been properly maintained, given the resources of
the church. And now the funds required are
a political flashpoint given all the Yellow Vest protests.
Many firefighters, including women, took unknown risks climbing
into the inferno to prevent total collapse.
