As the fire that ravaged Notre Dame was extinguished, French officials revealed that the structure of the 850-year-old Parisian cathedral is sound.

The fire destroyed the wood-and-lead roof and destroyed a spire, which was captured via numerous social media videos. Following an inspection on April 16, three “holes” were spotted in the vaulted ceiling, reported the New York Times.
