If the thing should have perished, or the prestation should have become impossible, without any fault of the joint debtors, the obligation shall be extinguished.
If there should have been any fault on the part of any of them, all shall be liable with regard to the creditor for the value and the indemnity for damages and payment of interest, without prejudice to his action against the culpable or negligent person.
