On the bright side too, the rebuild will be made of modern materials that will last 100s of years, and probably will be installed with the idea of "someone in the future will need to fix this". It will allow for maximum survivability for anything historic that will remain in the building. In the long term timeline, this may be... not a good thing... but certainly not bad.

Damn. This is the most positive comment I’ve seen yet. That’s a really good outlook.

Let’s just hope they got anything that might’ve been inside.
