Evelyn Waugh once said that in the event of a fire in his house, if he was able only to save his children or his library, he would save his library, because books were irreplaceable.

Unless he is cloning his children they are irreplaceable as well..what a clown!

Thankfully, it seems that the stained glass windows have survived and apparently there's been hundreds of millions of euros pledged to rebuild it. It won't be the same but it will survive.

Imagine if this fire was caused by someone tossing a ciggy on their break. Imagine being known throughout history as the person who almost burned down Notre Dame with a discarded cigarette.
