Anyone saying "They can do restoration", that spire falling is exactly the sort of thing that can never be re-created. The stone shell of the Cathedral is nothing without with sculptures, windows, and countless detail. This is like watching the Mona Lisa burn.

It's a total loss nothing can restore that it won't ever even be close. No reason to try. So sad
