The rose window is a skeleton, the glass is gone.

Notre-Dame's towers were saved, but two-thirds of the roof was destroyed by fire. “The worst has been avoided,” the president of France said.

By 11 p.m., Gen. Jean-Claude Gallet, the Paris fire chief, said that Notre-Dame cathedral, including the two magnificent towers soaring above the skyline, had been “saved and preserved as a whole.”

The cause of the fire was not immediately known, officials said. No one was killed, they said, but a firefighter was seriously injured.

I suspect the west end towers will be okay and the west end portal.

Not sure how badly damaged the skin of the rest of the cathedral will be.

The big fire was the roof. I can't see the vault surviving. Too much heat.

It isn't clear what happened below. What was there to burn on the ground? Seats? An organ?

I wonder what has happened to the windows.

They can replace the roof and the spire easily enough if the walls and flying buttresses are okay.
