"The main question is, why is there no contingency plan to prevent something like this in the first place? If I was in charge of St Paul's cathedral, I would seriously start thing about preventing something like this from happening. York Minster, the art gallery in Scotland have been ravaged by fire. Surely this ought to be preventable? " You would think so, but in the case of the Glasgow School of Art the rebuilding and restoration from the 2014 fire was almost complete when the building was ravaged again by second fire in 2018 | |||

"I watched the coverage on BBC and found their attitude so condescending. They were asked eye-witnesses on the street if the fire service was tardy in its response. FFS! There were hundreds of fire- fighters trying to save not only the structure but also the buildings nearby. One of them was seriously injured. This morning, their reporter said it was "luck" that saved the North Tower. I had to switch off. It was the fire-fighters who saved the North Tower. Imagine if the rolling coverage of Grenfell was peppered with slurs about the fire-fighters. There would be uproar. " There was plenty of that in the coverage of Grenfell. Did you miss it? | |||

"That building has stood through a Napoleonic war and we are led to believe that Bob the Builder and his oversized arse crack are responsible for burning it down. I thinketh not" A spokesperson for the building company has stated no workers where on site that day. There is obviously the posibilitly of an electrical fire (dodgy battery charger for example), or some things can self ignite like cloths soaked in linseed oil used to finish wood. Glass bottles left on a sunny window cill can act like a magnifying glass. There are lots of possibilities including unattended candles used for worship and even that someone may have started it deliberately. According to the article I linked before 800+ churches a year are vandalized in France with the rate increasing by 25% in the first few months of this year. Arson has been confirmed among these attacks. | |||

"Hmm heres something interesting that i just read the al-aqsa mosque in jerusalem on the temple mount was on fire the same night as the cathedral wasnt as extensive however, but 2 major holy sites on fire at the same time..." Yes it says it was contained also mentions it took place in a part of the Structure that was built by a Jewish King. | |||

I just read that, and the Jewish connection. Passover starts on Friday, as well as it being Good Friday, but I can't think of an Islamic holy day for this period. All the Abrahamic faiths aligning, albeit in fire, is interesting. | |||

"I do wonder if some people have no soul (no pun intended to our Religious friends), it is sad that such a lovely building, with such history has been destroyed." Well, it’s not destroyed. Two thirds of the roof burnt away and the ( fairly new) spire fell over. The artefacts were saved and the stained windows will need a bit of a wipe down. | |||

"This thread is eye opening. Conspiracy theorists claiming they aren’t seeing a conspiracy, but conflating the fire in Paris with one in Jerusalem and then trying to establish a link to Abrahamist religion. By all means go off and do some research, maybe a Degree, an MA and a PhD, spend time in and with each of these religions. Develop a deep understanding of them. Then if you have some facts to put forward a hypothesis that you are willing to have challenged by your peers, please feel free to go ahead. Unfortunately, I see nothing of this here. Just some fantasist belief system reinforced by other fantasists. Michael Gove is an idiot, but sadly his commentary that people ‘have had enough of experts’ is quite telling. " 2 fires at 2 major religious sites on the same night just before a important period/ holiday in the religious calendar is not up for discussion. When the Young man mentioned Fire, fire in a particular book has a lot to do with Judgement or Purification. In mentioning the Abrahamic descendancy of the Jewish religion and the Catholic religion he is considering whether there is a sign in all this. I believe the Catholic teachings are false, so for me from a religious standpoint I rejoice to see Babylon burn (Rev :18) | |||

"The main question is, why is there no contingency plan to prevent something like this in the first place? If I was in charge of St Paul's cathedral, I would seriously start thing about preventing something like this from happening. York Minster, the art gallery in Scotland have been ravaged by fire. Surely this ought to be preventable? You would think so, but in the case of the Glasgow School of Art the rebuilding and restoration from the 2014 fire was almost complete when the building was ravaged again by second fire in 2018" Now that one is a heart wrencher, Rennie would be raging. And hardly covered in the news unlike some wank box in France. How bad that student must still feel, I bet he hasn't touched a projector switch since. | |||

Hallelujah "I wouldn't be too sure about that. With tax relief on charitable donations it looks like it will be publicly funded. Albeit through the back door. As for the conspiracy.

"Pope did it for the insurance. Quasimodo will be the fall guy.. Just a hunch ? You're going to hell for body shaming. Or possibly Manchester. Manchester, like Paris has had it's own losses. On those occasions it was children, parents, people going about their daily lives, lost, maimed, injured and hurt beyond repair. Somewhat tasteless don't you think.... I think you missed the joke. It had nothing to do with the Manchester bombing either and I find it quite tasteless you imply it did. Indeed. The Manchester reference is because G-C is in Merseyside..." If G-C is me ( and not gemma collins ) then the comment has gone right over my head. I'm going back for a re read. | |||

I observed that there has been previous arson attacks on churches in France, I questioned if it was possible for this to be the cause of the notre-dame fire and I stated and displayed my reason and posted links for peer review. What's your point, and where is your evidence? You will find that no one here has asserted that there is an ulterior motive to this fire, merely questioned what happened. You will also find that the only people failing to give any evidence are the ones dismissing others as conspiracy theorists. | |||

What signs ?. Have they discovered the cause already !"So, we could wait until the investigators conclude their analysis, produce a report and propose lessons learned. At the moment we have one fact, Notre Dame was largely destroyed by fire, beyond that we have purely conjecture based on fantasy. Maybe the report will support the fantasy, but I’m not holding my breath, by which time people will have moved onto the next piece of sensationalism to satisfy their need for immediate ‘answers’ | |||
