Notre Dame Cathedral ‘not saved yet’ and still at risk of collapse
Head of restoration says removal of fused scaffolding may destroy vaulted ceiling
The French general appointed to oversee the reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral has said the iconic building is still at risk of collapse more than six months into the efforts to restore it.
Gen Jean-Louis Georgelin said the cathedral is “not saved yet” and has to undergo a delicate operation to remove fused scaffolding that was around the spire, destroyed by a devastating fire last April.
