Val¨¦rie P¨¦cresse, the President of the ?le-de-France region in which Paris lies, has told reporters that the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral was an accident. "This was an accident. It wasn¡¯t intentional," she said.P¨¦cresse said the region would unlock an emergency fund of €10 million euros (.3 million) to help in the rebuild efforts.The cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris is home to scores of priceless artifacts, artwork and relics collected over the centuries, each with their own story.As a devastating fire tore through the revered Gothic cathedral on Monday, toppling its spire, many feared these treasures might be lost forever.A "forest" of wooden latticework fueled the blaze which consumed the building's roof, whose framework dates back to the 13th century, according to Msgr. Patrick Chauvet, the cathedral's rector.The Paris Fire Brigade tweeted that the cathedral's stone construction has been "saved," as have the "main works of art." As more information emerges, what has been rescued from Notre Dame is becoming apparent.Yet many details, such as possible water damage from the operation to save the building, are still unclear.What was saved? The Crown of Thorns, which some believe was placed on the head of Jesus and which the cathedral calls its "most precious and most venerated relic," was rescued from the fire, according to Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.? Hidalgo confirmed the Tunic of Saint Louis and other "major" works were also saved.? The facade and twin bell towers, the tallest structures in Paris until the completion of the Eiffel Tower in the late 19th century, survived the blaze.The North tower was completed in 1240 and the South tower in 1250.? The cathedral's main bell, Emanuelle, lives in the South tower. It has marked significant moments in French history, such as the end of World War II, as well as holidays and special occasions.? The Rose windows are a trio of immense round stained-glass windows over the cathedral's three main portals that date back to the 13th century. The Archbishop of Paris said all three have been saved, reports CNN affiliate BFM TV.? The original Great Organ, one of the world's most famous musical instruments, dates back to medieval times. Over the years, organ makers renovated the instrument and added onto it, but it still contained pipes from the Middle Ages before Monday's fire.The position of titular organist, or head organist, carries great prestige in France and around the world. The Archbishop of Paris confirmed the organ is safe, reports CNN affiliate BFM TV.Fate of other artifacts unconfirmed"We managed to protect the most precious treasures in a safe place," a Paris City Hall spokesperson told CNN.However it has not been confirmed whether individual items such as a fragment of the True Cross and one of the Holy Nails were saved.? There were also numerous sculptures, statues and paintings inside the cathedral depicting Biblical scenes and saints.One series of 76 paintings, each nearly four meters tall, commemorates the New Testament's Acts of the Apostles, including the crucifixion of St. Peter and the conversion of St. Paul. The works were completed between 1630 and 1707 by the members or associates of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture.Another painting is from a series by Jean Jouvenet depicting the life of the Virgin Mary. All six from the series used to be in the cathedral. They were moved to the Louvre in the 1860s, and only "The Visitation" was returned to Notre Dame.A portrait from 1648 of St. Thomas Aquinas also graced the cathedral's interiors.? It is not yet clear how much damage there is to the cathedral's exterior, where a menagerie of menacing gargoyles and chimeras stand guard and a system of flying buttresses support the outside walls.A Paris police source told CNN that part of the vault has collapsed in the central nave, and architects are checking whether the structure is stable.? The cathedral also has an archaeological crypt under the courtyard. It was created to protect 19th-century relics that were discovered during excavations in 1965. It opened to the public in 1980. 4127

Victor, Colorado is a historic town known for the Gold Rush where the town thrived in the late 1800s. However, the town is starting to move into a new golden era dedicated to preserving the city¡¯s history. ¡°Victor has a tendency to enchant people as soon as they enter the town,¡± said Becky Frank, who works for the city. ¡°You can tell it has this feeling of ¡®what is this place?¡¯¡± Victor appears to be a place frozen in time, but those who live there like it that way. ¡°Victor is kind of stuck,¡± said Karen Morrison, who owns the Victor Trading Post with her husband. ¡°But it tends to captivate your imagination of what was here, and makes you wonder what could be here.¡±The small town is full of authentic history. Ghosts of the town are still here ¨C-the headframes of gold mines hang above Victor reminding it of its roots. ¡°It¡¯s the site of the largest gold strike in Colorado, and it¡¯s still mining to this day,¡± said Adam Zimmerli, the owner of the Monarch Hotel. ¡°Victor was the historic mining community,¡± Frank said. ¡°The gold camp was here, where all the miners lived at the turn of the century when gold was discovered here.The town at its peak during the gold rush had more than 18,000 people living in Victor. When mining stopped, people left. But when it resumed in 1990, things weren¡¯t as vibrant as back in the day. ¡°Our current population in Victor is about 400-year-round residents,¡± Frank said. While thousands of people left, all the buildings stayed. ¡°We¡¯re kind of stuck in the 1900s,¡± Morrison said. ¡°That¡¯s when our building was built after the fire.¡±Morrison owns Victor Trading Post where her and her husband are most famous for handmaking brooms. ¡°We¡¯ve lived here for 29 years,¡± Morrison said. ¡°The shakers came up with this broom making in the 1790s. We can make brooms the same way because they were good.¡± Tradition, like Morrison¡¯s, can be found on every corner in Victor. ¡°We have lived here for 19 years,¡± said Gertrude Wuellner, the owner of Gold Camp Bakery. ¡°My husband is German as well, and we came up to Victor on a visit and decided if we ever got those visas, we would move up here. It was the mining history and the area that made us move up here.¡± Victor is trying to progress its town by keeping things the same. The historic buildings are now occupied with current businesses to help keep things more authentic in the community. The 125-year-old town has put in million in improvements in the town and preservation of historic buildings. ¡°A building that is occupied is maintained better,¡± Frank said. ¡°It¡¯s got a life to it that the empty building don¡¯t have. And we have played some creative strategies to make that happen.¡± Zimmerli is one example of that creative strategy. ¡°The building I owned was originally a saloon, brothel and casino when it was built in 1899,¡± Zimmerli said. ¡°It was advertised as the finest gentlemen¡¯s club west of the Mississippi. Now, it¡¯s a hotel I owned, and we are continuing to expand into the building for more rooms.¡± Victor is now trying to stay on this path of preservation. For those who live here, it¡¯s not about new development but preservation to remain stuck in time. ¡°There was never enough money to modernize it in the sixties and seventies,¡± Morrison said. Now, people appreciate the history and the heritage, and the old buildings. We get a lot of people coming up here because of the history, and that Victor hasn¡¯t changed a whole lot.¡± 3458

While restaurants in some states start to open their doors to dine-in customers, bars and nightclubs are still closed in most places. Now, those businesses are getting creative when it comes to connecting with customers."My bar manager called me in the middle of the week saying she just saw a club in L.A. doing a DJ livestream and she said we should do that, too, to keep our customers well connected," said Chris Dauria, owner of Johnny's Hideaway in Atlanta, Georgia.Before COVID-19, Johnny's Hideaway would see up to 700 customers on a Saturday night. Their first virtual DJ livestream several weeks ago drew just as many viewers."It was really cool that 700 people were sitting in their living room or wherever, in their pajamas dancing around to the junk we play every night. That¡¯s pretty cool," said Dauria.Johnny's Hideaway isn't alone. Nightclubs across the country are holding music livestream events, reaching out to their customers on social media and encouraging them to tune in. Stereo Nightclub in Chicago has been livestreaming DJ sessions with more than 33,000 people watching. Marquee nightclub in New York is doing the same."He's in the DJ booth by himself with one of my other DJs taking requests and doing the social media thing like 20 feet away from him. It¡¯s the funniest thing you¡¯ve ever seen," said Dauria. Dauria plans on holding live DJ sessions every weekend until they open their physical doors to dancing customers. "It's been really tough because I have a restaurant license, but we¡¯re primarily known as a dance club. I get hit at least two to three times a day on social media with 'Hey, when are you going to open, don¡¯t worry about COVID, we'll be safe when we dance,' just crazy requests," said Dauria. He says the livestreams are the only way they've been able to connect with roughly 90% of their customers. They have a restaurant in the club, as well, that has opened to diners, but most of their business comes from dancers on the weekends. "I think the one thing I¡¯ve learned from this is, there are a ton of people out there who feel that it's their home away from home. They go there and dance and have a release and I think it¡¯s important so at least by us just doing this four hours a week, there¡¯s a Hideaway out there that¡¯s coming back soon. Whenever it happens, it happens," said Dauria. These clubs are giving customers some happiness and music to dance to even if it's from the couch on Saturday nights. 2470

Universal's Volcano Bay water theme park closed Sunday, June 2 after lifeguards and people swimming in one of the attractions reported shocks so severe they feared for their lives.Universal admits it suffered electrical issues, confirming what guests reported."It's like I ran into, I guess, an electrical field. I started experiencing the tingling and prickling burning in my legs at first I thought it was a chemical," park goer Wendy Lee said.Lee was at the park right when it opened at 9 a.m. Eastern on Sunday. She was with her husband and 14-year-old daughter to celebrate her graduation from middle school. What was supposed to be a day full of fun lasted only 30 minutes. According to a Universal Orlando Resort report provided by Lee, she was checked out by paramedics at 9:36 a.m. The paramedic reporting the cause of her injuries was "electric shock."Lee was at the Kopiko Wei Winding River when she first noticed something was wrong."There was another family in front of me and all of a sudden they started going over the wall to get out of the water," Lee recalled. "The discomfort of the prickles in my legs and the humming in my ears stopped, I believe, as soon as I got out of the pool."Volcano Bay reopened Thursday. A representative for the park said guests felt shocks and other similar sensations.A small number of lifeguards said they also had the same sensations and asked to go to the hospital, but they were quickly released, officials said.Officials said none of the park's guests asked to go to the hospital and the entire park was closed "out of an abundance of caution."Park officials believe the issue has been resolved, according to a news release.The Occupational Safety and Health Administration confirmed it has launched an investigation. Park officials said OSHA investigators were at the park Wednesday."We know it is disturbing to feel any level of shock in a water park," the release states. "We definitely understand and want you to know that the safety ¡ª and trust ¡ª of our guests and team members is vital to us. Everything we do is motivated by their safety. And that was the case on Sunday.""I think they did a terrible job they did not take people's safety into account," Lee said. "My incident took place at 9:30 in the morning. They didn't close the park until 6 that night. If you don't know where the problem is from the get-go, you close everything, and you narrow it down. I don't think it was handled safely at all."Lee says until federal authorities clear the park, she won't be going back."I wouldn't discourage anyone from going," Lee said. "You have the right to know there is a potential problem, and with their initial statement of it being a technical issue that was not fair to the public to hide all that." 2787
