Detail photograph of damage to Notre Dame cathedral,
Paris, from 2 freak storms, with winds over 90 mph, that hit the Continent, with almost no warning,
between Xmas and New Year's Eve, 1999 -- just before the end of the millennium. | |
Top of spire at left
has been broken off; top of spire at center is broken but still hanging on.... Thus,
the last days of the millennium witnessed damage to some of the great accomplishments of its
early years. | |
