After the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris
■ The fire is out after firefighters battled the blaze for 9 hours
■ The cathedral’s famous rose windows were saved, along with its great organ, main bell, and twin bell towers
■ The Crown of Thorns, Tunic of Saint Louis and other “major” works were also saved
■ The roof, made of 13th century oak wood, and the spire were destroyed
■ The cause is still unknown, but the President of the Île-de-France region says it was accidental
■ Donors have already pledged hundreds of millions to rebuild the cathedra
