Distraught eyewitnesses were at a lack for words when the great spire fell and people around the world are sharing their grief as one of the most famous churches in the world remains to burn.

Located on the Île de la Cité in the middle of the Seine River, the soaring Gothic structure dates to the 13th century and was completed in the 15th century, almost took 250 years to complete.
