After the fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral, officials have raised a proposal to temporarily build up a wooden cathedral near Notre-Dame’s famed towers.

The rector of the Paris landmark, Monsignor Patrick Chauvet, suggested that the structure would serve as a home for worshippers and tourists alike.

The 850-year-old Gothic cathedral was already undergoing renovation works at the time of the fire break-out.

Notre-Dame Cathedral has been closed after a fire tore through its roof and destroyed its spire.

Emmanuel Macron, the French President have pledged that the Cathedral would be reopened within 5 years.

A couple have been strangely rescued from a marsh in northern Australia. The rescue team could find them using the writing “help” in the mud to attract attention. The couple got stuck in a crocodile-ridden part of Australia’s remote northern part.

Colen Nulgit and his partner Shantelle Johnson were having a fishing trip in Keep River National Park, Northern Territory when their car became stuck down in mud.

Nulgit said to the media, “We were stuck on the marshland and we were right next to saltwater”. Nulgit said that they had seen crocodile tracks in the area and, as the waters rose, they became afraid of being swept away by a large tide, or being attacked by crocodiles or dingos. “These crocodiles that we get here, they’re not afraid of humans, they’re not afraid of anything”, said Nulgit.

A search team had rescued them after a long and miserable fight of about 26 hours.

Firefighters extinguishes the firing ruins of Notre-Dame with water on Tuesday. A raging inferno swept through the gothic cathedral in the heart of Paris, a morning before this incident.

Hundreds of firemen had frighted the blaze. The fire consumed the roof and collapsed the eight-centuries-old cathedral’s spire for more than eight hours before bringing it under control, saving its bell towers and outer walls.

A pair of bell towers survived, along with the cathedral’s elaborate stonework facade. The officials said that invaluable artifacts were saved, including the Crown of Thorns, believed to be a relic of the passion of Christ.

Franck Riester, the Culture Minister  had told the media, ” It’s a symbol of our country that risked being destroyed”.
