Paris terror attack hero helped save Notre Dame artifacts, mayor says
From CNN's Rob Picheta
A Paris chaplain who tended to victims of the 2015 terror attack in the city has been hailed as a hero once more, after he reportedly entered the burning Notre Dame cathedral to rescue priceless relics from the blaze.
Jean-Marc Fournier, the chaplain of Paris fire service, entered the cathedral with firefighters to help salvage some of the priceless artifacts held in the building, the Paris 15th district mayor Philippe Goujon told reporters on Tuesday.
Fournier had previously held prayers and assisted victims after terrorists killed 130 people in attacks throughout the French capital in November 2015.
A number of relics were rescued during Monday's devastating fire, which tore through and destroyed parts of the 850-year-old church.
They include the Crown of Thorns, which some believe was placed on the head of Christ and which the cathedral calls its "most precious and most venerated relic."
He has been praised as a hero throughout social media for his bravery after Etienne Loraillère, the director of the French Catholic television network KTO, posted a picture of Fournier and commended the chaplain.

As flames threatened to engulf Notre Dame on Monday night, Parisians came together to save the cathedral which has been the beating heart of this city for nine centuries.
A human chain was quickly formed of priests, politicians, and churchgoers - the people who cared most for Notre Dame - all working to save irreplaceable relics from the inferno.
Along the line they passed artefact after artefact, including the Crown of Thorns (a band of rushes said to be from the original crown of thorns placed on Jesus’s head during his crucifixion, one of Notre-Dame’s most treasured relics), and the True Cross and Holy Nails — a purported fragment of the cross, and an original nail with which Jesus was crucified....
I was on the tread mill at the gym when the pictures first started to appear on the flat screens overhead. It took me a little bit to figure out what exactly I was looking at since there is no sound, just closed captioning. Once I understood what was happening I felt so sad. Before my eyes was hundreds of years of architectural, sculptural, religious and artistic history going up in smoke and flames. Utterly impossible to replace. Do we even have the skilled craftsmen necessary to rebuild Notre Dame? As the images rolled past I said a prayer. What else was there to do? Thank you for posting and giving me a place to share my thoughts.
It's like a heart stops beating. A centuries-old national identity in ruins. But she will rise again ... like phoenix from the ashes.
Such a sad sight to watch the splendor of one of France's most iconic monuments engulfed in flames...
Nearly half a billion euros has now been pledged to rebuild Notre Dame
Billionaires and businesses continue to pledge vast financial sums towards the rebuild of the Notre Dame.
The latest commitment has come from French oil and gas company Total. The company's CEO, Patrick Pouyanné, tweeted it will put €100 million ($113 million) to the reconstruction efforts.
That matches the pledge made by French billionaire François Pinault earlier. The family of Bernard Arnault, the French business magnate who owns luxury goods and fashion house LVMH, has promised to contribute €200 million ($226 million), and tech company Capgemini also said it is contributing €1 million.
The total amount pledged by French businesses and business leaders is so far is €401 million ($453 million). That number doesn't include the €50 million euros ($56 million) put towards the Cathedral by Paris city hall.

I'm looking forward to see what she looks in daylight
She will rise again no doubt.
Something that took 200 years to build then burnt down in a short time is a tragedy.
Good to know no one died or got hurt...except it does sound like a fireman did get injured though I don't think anyone know any details on that yet at this time of my typing this.
She has been through so much in her history throughout the years. I know that the intense sorry now is shared around the world, and I also know that the people of France will ensure that Notre Dame will continue her journey and, once again, be restored.
Après la pluie, le beau temps.
