Re: Notre Dame backlash...

Yeah, a coworker and I were trying to come up with a US equivalent to Notre Dame in terms of historical/cultural significance and couldn’t, really. Anything that dates back that far would’ve been built by Native Americans and official government policy for centuries was to kill them/drive them off their land, and the only monumental construction left in the lower 48 is the Cahokia mounds, which not even everyone on the US knows about. The closest thing we could think of was the Smithsonian.

Everybody at least knows that Notre Dame is a famous cathedral in Paris.

Well. The Statue of Liberty would be a pretty big one, symbolism-wise.

GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE

(Anonymous) 2019-04-18 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
There would definitely be international attention if the Golden Gate Bridge were destroyed or heavily damaged. Everyone knows about it.

If you want something pre-European, though, there's also Mesa Verde and Chaco Canyon and other structures in the southwest, which definitely have more national and international recognition than Cahokia. Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon is on par with Notre Dame in terms of age (slightly older, actually). However, while I've never been to Mesa Verde, I can tell you that Chaco Canyon is pretty remote and definitely not in the middle of a large city with other tourist destinations and an abundance of croissants, so I'm sure it doesn't get anywhere close to the same level of tourist traffic.
