The spire has fallen.  The roof is all but gone.  My boss said another Parisian cathedral fire (arson targeting the church) was last week and this could be part of that.

Apparently it was due to the haphazard health and safety taken by the renovation team.

Hope they have a full set of as-builts.

My heart goes out to everyone touched by this man made wonder and architectural masterpiece. To man on wire, “thank you ”. To all the street performers that embellished her entrance “thank you”. To Florence, the tour guide, “thank you”. Tears....

This is heartbreaking...CNN stated the roof was from the 13th century. That said- this is a great example of the fire resistance characteristics of Type 3 construction.

The spire was added by Violet le Duc...
