And it looks so dramatic too like the spire collapsing and such

How is the final damage like?

Final damage is, they don't think they can put the fire out.

So it is still burning

Yep

But they did state all the artwork and the crown of thorns has been saved.

Thank God

The issue is, if they dump a bunch of water on it they could ruin the stone too.

It's a balancing act of trying to preserve as much as possible.

Pretty sure it was saved, since it was out for veneration for holy week

The fire apparently started in the roof so they saved as much as humanly possible.

Man the roof

Aaaaa

Trying to wrap my head around it.

Apparently the reason they are struggling is because the walls are too high

And they can't drop water because it could kill people in a city

Looks like someone is having a great laugh.

I hope if it is confirmed as arson people don't just lay down.
