Quoted from adol75:It's going to be impossible to rebuild it to its original state unfortunately, the wood that burnt down came from France primary forest, oak trees that were 400 years old and cut around 1100, each beam was cut from a single tree.
These type of trees don't exist anymore, that loss is tragic.

They planted replacement trees that last time it was damaged they are 160 years old now.
Quoted from adol75:The information I mentioned above comes from the VP of the "Fondation du Patrimoine", the government agency responsible for France's historical sites preservation and restoration.
The damage you are referring to did not affect the frame of the Cathedral, that remained untouched since it's early construction.
I'm not referring to any damage. Just posting some information I saw. I doubt they would make it out of wood anyway, there are just so many better materials. All they need is enough wood for veneer. The trees may not be available in France but the building was hardly in its original state. It will get rebuilt to look similar but it will be take advantage of modern construction.
Quoted from adol75:Let me rephrase in a better way then. The fact that these rich donors give for Notre Dame does not mean they don't give money to other causes. For exemple L'Oreal who pledged 200 millions to Notre Dame accounts for 40% of the total national donations to charities in France. They have a Foundation that gets 500 million a year plus another 30 million from the Heiress personal fortune.
So yes I do find it wrong to oppose generosities and blame donors for it.
That takes knowledge outside social media. People form their opinions these days based on memes. I do admit the humor in outrage without a clue culture is a guilty pleasure.
