Definitely chemicals were used and they deliberately slowed down the response teams.

it's there to teach them that this structure took decades or generations to complete. working slowly, making small errors and having to tear back an entire section to redo all over again.
Did you lose your brains and sensibility with your peen lil-sismo
I did say part of me agrees with this kind of thing. It's important to preserve the past to help inform our present and our future.
But at the same time, is it? Is it really important? Let it all burn and we'll find out how important it really was. I have a feeling that the past just stifles and restricts our capacity to generate new culture. There will never be a true "future society" without starting society more-or-less from the ground. As long as Notre Dame exists, French culture will always just be a variation on themes of 800 years ago. Humanity needs to start fresh culturally, while preserving its technology, for things to become truly interesting. This is half the appeal of post-apocalyptic fiction.

This was clearly a scam to get funding for a full restoration.

1 Billion Euros for an old church...recockulous. Think of all the people that money could really help, I'll be fucked if a wooden roof costs anything like 1 billion euros. God damn I'll build a new roof for it for $500,000 and it'll be metal not stupid wood.
The pew benches etc can be bought from Ashley furnature for like $300 each.

Always amazes me how much money is donated for structural causes instead of human ones.
