En arrivant sur le pont Saint Louis quelques minutes apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9part du feu, l\u2019\u00e9paisse fum\u00e9e jaune charg\u00e9e de plomb qui s\u2019\u00e9l\u00e8ve au dessus des immeubles haussmanniens du quai aux Fleurs annonce d\u2019embl\u00e9e la violence de l\u2019incendie. Les flammes ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 embras\u00e9 la fl\u00e8che et la crois\u00e9e du transept et de la nef. Les riverains d\u00e9couvrent interloqu\u00e9s la sc\u00e8ne qui se joue sous leurs yeux \u00e9bahis. Le feu progresse \u00e0 une vitesse incroyable. La charpente de ch\u00eanes apparait incandescente derri\u00e8re les tables de plomb du toit qui fondent dans la chaleur du brasier. La croix est encercl\u00e9e par les flammes. La fl\u00e8che tient encore debout sur sa structure de bois en fusion. La fum\u00e9e de plus en plus dense envahie l\u2019\u00e9difice et le ciel de Paris. En moins d\u2019une heure, le toit du transept, puis celui de la nef s\u2019effondrent emportant la croix. Quelques instants apr\u00e8s, la fl\u00e8che s\u2019\u00e9croule \u00e0 son tour comme une explosion provoquant d\u2019impressionnants nuages de fum\u00e9es fluorescentes. Les passants sont en \u00e9tat de choc, souvent en larmes, le spectacle est inconcevable et les faibles moyens d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s par les pompiers de Paris, quelques lances \u00e0 incendie visibles \u00e0 l\u2019arri\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00e9difice, laisse craindre la destruction totale de Notre Dame. Apr\u00e8s l\u2019effondrement du toit et de la fl\u00e8che, l\u2019incendie semble pourtant ne plus progresser. Les pompiers viendront \u00e0 bout du feu tard dans la nuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving on the Pont Saint Louis bridge just a few minutes after the start of the fire, the dense, yellow smoke, rising above the Haussmann-style buildings on the Seine riverbank, announces the violence of the blaze. The flames have already ignited the spire, the transept and the nave. Stunned residents witness the scene in disbelief, speechless as the fire progresses at a furious pace. The oak frame appears incandescent through the melting lead roof tiles. Flames surround the cross and the spire clings desperately to its molten wood structure. The smoke grows thicker invading the cathedral and the Paris skyline. In less than an hour, the roofs of the transept and the nave collapse, bringing down the cross. Seconds later, the spire tumbles in an explosion of fluorescent smoke. Onlookers stand in shock, many in tears at the inconceivable spectacle and the limited means deployed by Paris firefighters. The few firehoses visible at the back of the building trigger the fear of Notre Dame\u2019s total destruction. After the spire and the roof have collapsed, the fire seems to stop gaining ground. Firefighters will win the fight later in the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
