The centuries-old Paris landmark Notre-Dame Cathedral reopens today, five-and-a-half years after a devastating fire destroyed its spire and roof and brought the entire Gothic masterpiece within minutes of collapsing.
The 860-year-old medieval building has been meticulously restored, with a new spire and rib vaulting, its flying buttresses and carved stone gargoyles returned to their past glory and the white stone and gold decorations shining brighter than ever. The state hands over the building to the Catholic church, the archbishop opens the door, and a liturgical celebration is held with singing and a blessing.
President Trump and various foreign dignitaries are in attendance. UPDATE: Video Added

Elon Musk likely having a mind-blowing time judging by the look on his face at the opening shot in this video. Wondering what’s on his mind?
Elon Musk is in the top 20 in the world in an online MMO game – Diablo IV. There’s with only two Americans in the top 20. Elon is one of them.
Musk have said “If I play a video game on extreme difficulty, I have to concentrate fully on the game and it has a calming effect. I think anything that forces you to concentrate fully has a restoring effect.”
“It cleans the mind.”
Agree he had a mind blowing time. It has been interesting watching a genius and the world’s richest man be taken to a whole new level that he never dreamed about being part of. He is enjoying the ride, and I believe there are times where he is humbled by it.
Inflation has me stuck on Diablo III nightmare mode.
It cleans the mind, the restoring effect may heal it.
lol … good joke. Or try getting out of 64bit mode and running it on 32bit. Perhaps it’s all what Blizzard is great for – slowing folks down while they rack their brains on what new contents they can next best put out.
This kind of thing is legend with Blizzard games. Nightmare mode on Diablo 3 for myself is over-rated. To each his own. I’d rather play solo and free – campaign is fine but I have gotten impatient since it’s really about enjoying the game if I can wing it the way I feel like playing any particular day or month.
Rather enjoy a little more challenge with a new seasonal from scratch – not on campaign but playing on nephalim rifts and bounties to start. Much more fun to me. Trouble is levelling so fast and then it becomes grind for better equipment to do the greater ones and the event portals.
Certainly a much better job than they did w/the Olumpics.
