The iconic Xtion symbol of France, in
a city where the huge Muslim population
hates Xtions. What a coincidence.

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..

Notre Dame was the only gothic cathedral which hadn't been burned.

So, actually it was an exception.

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.

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.
