I've never been to you-rope but when my son was little (maybe 7), he got interested in the arch as a construction technique. He had been reading about the natural strength of the arch and how it distributed weight and load. That let to studying flying buttresses and naturally to studying the cathedral.
We got pretty deep into the math and I'm pretty sure I learned more about it than he did.
I am sad that this happened but I am also optimistic that they will rebuild it.
it will never be exactly the same but it will survive.
