Notre-Dame Cathedral Collapses in Fire-Gracie Zytynski

Notre-Dame Cathedral, the iconic symbol of the beauty and history of Paris built in the 12th and 13th century, has collapsed by a fire Monday evening. The cause of the fire was not immediately known, and officials said that no one has been injured or killed.  After three hours after the fire began, authorities were still trying to contain it and said that they do not they can contain it. As a result of the fire, 400 firefighters had been deployed. The officials had estimated that the fire broke about 6:30 p.m. President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech about trying to heal the country from months of "Yellow Vest" demonstrations that had been taking place at other important landmarks. Additionally, the "Yellow Vests" began because Britain is leaving the UN and the increase of fuel taxes. This connects to the various forms of protests that occur today and the fact that if authorities do not stop some forms of protests then it could go out of hand.
