Built in the 13th century, the medieval cathedral is considered a feat of architecture as much as a religious symbol. It is one of Paris' most popular attractions, drawing an estimated 13 million visitors a year.Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, shared his shock and sadness, calling the cathedral"a world treasure."
A witness earlier in the day had described an eerie silence; now, the crowd has begun to sing hymns together, many on their knees.Thibaud Binétruy, who lives in Paris, just told CNN of what it was like when the spire fell: US President Donald Trump said Notre Dame's famous cathedral was struck by a “terrible, terrible fire."
