While Andre Finot, a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Times, that the cause of the fire is still unknown and that no one has been hurt while damage to the building appears catastrophic(災難性的). CNN reports that over 400 firefighters have been sent to fight the fire, but that they may be unable to save the cathedral. Built in the 12th century, NotreDame houses several relics important to Catholics (天主教徒). NBC News reports that relics from Saint Genevieve and Saint Denis may been lost, together with a relic believed to be from Jesus Christ39。s crown of thorns, but it states that authorities now believe that the cathedral has been saved from “total destruction”. NotreDame is visited by a reported 30, 000 people a day and 13 million people per year. Its destruction represents a global cultural loss. This is just horrible, Mohamed Megdoul, 33, a film producer and witness to the fire told The Times, speaking through tears. A thousand years of history is being wiped away. This belonged to the whole world, and now it39。s disappearing. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his sadness on Twitter.
