La estructura de la icónica catedral de Notre Dame de París, que este lunes se vio afectada por un devastador incendio, se ha salvado de la destrucción total, informó en declaraciones a BFMTV un comandante de la brigada de bomberos de París.
La estructura principal de Notre Dame ha sido “salvada y preservada”, anunció el funcionario, agregando que las dos torres también “están salvadas”.
Poco antes, los bomberos habían expresado dudas sobre la posibilidad de que puediera sofocarse el devastador incendio y evitar el derrumbe de la catedral parisina.
