Day 106 - 11:41am, 16 April 2019
Tonight, the world stands in respectful silence, looking helplessly on as Notre Dame burns. Thankfully, nobody is killed, but nonetheless we mourn the loss of the 850-years of accumulated history and heritage that was infused in its stone and wood. It also shows for all the technical advances and progress we have made in recent years, us humans - and the legacies we try to leave - are as vulnerable as we ever were. All it takes is the might of fire and the tyranny of four hours to devastate this iconic feature of the Parisian landscape and break the hearts of not just the 13 million visitors each year but people the world over.
