It was a kid in a MAGA hat that did it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

And it stood 900 years until the Muslims moved in. There goes the neighborhood.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

They've already collected a billion for the rebuild and more is coming in. They'll be fine. Lets see how much of that the Vatican steals for other purposes, like paying off the victims of child molesters. That's where a huge amount has gone in the last 25 years.

With the renovation going on and the timing, not long after work ended for the day, I would think the most likely cause of the fire is construction related. Spark from welding was hidden and smouldering away, electrical wiring being damaged or temporary lighting/power not being done safely or damaged. Mistakes like these happen all the time in construction and cause fires. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

In a project like that, with all the value and old wood, I would think hand held fire extinguishers would always be around for anything noticed. But some small event occurring at the end of shift, then everyone being gone, would allow something to fester unnoticed. They said fire alarms went off. Seems like that would pinpoint the specific area. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
