'We will rebuild. All together,' French President Macron said of Notre Dame. Here's what other world leaders, including President Trump and Pope Francis, had to say about the tragedy.
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral within five years after a devastating fire Monday caused the landmark's roof and spire to collapse.
More than 400 firefighters battled the blaze for 15 hours. The fire was largely extinguished, saving the 8½-century-old building from"total destruction," according to a French fire official. The two iconic rectangular bell towers were saved even though the fire spread to one of them Monday evening. Among the donations pledged to rebuild were from two of France's richest people. Francois-Henri Pinault, whose Artemis holding company owns a controlling stake in luxury group Kering, pledged 100 million euros , while Bernard Arnault, chair of LVMH, gave 200 million euros.
Le Bras Freres, the company working on the cathedral's restorations, said it will be cooperating fully with the investigation. Notably, 16 religious statues were removed from the cathedral for cleaning on Thursday — for the first time in over a century — and therefore escaped the fire.
