The issue is that the exterior of the 12th-century structure was under renovation when the fire broke out on April 15, and 50,000 tubes of scaffolding that were in place at the time are still there. With the now-destroyed roof no longer helping hold the walls in place, removing the scaffolding will be a difficult, dangerous process. – AP
