How do I know you're not part of the Jewish/Muslim/Globalist/Illuminati conspiracy to cover up what actually happened??? :hmm: :hmm:

I think I posted a pic which showed how that 800 years old wood from the Notre Dame roof looked like. It looked almost petrified.

Image

It has accumulated so much dust from the environment over 8 centuries, this thing would have taken forever to catch fire.

So I think the architect who participated in the restoration efforts some years ago makes a good point. That kind of wood couldn't have caught fire so quickly. There's something fishy about this sequence of events, going from a false alarm at 6-ish PM and then an actually confirmed alarm a few tens of minutes later. If this wood takes a long time to catch fire, how could it combust so fast?

I mean, if you want to venture into conspiracy territory, you could think of a wide range of scenarios, some of them quite crazy. I'm sure some people might even think some pro-Macron mignions might have created this event in order to distract the French people from the yellow vests protests and take the wind out of the their sails.

I don't find any of these conspiracy scenarios believable yet, but it's quite equally hard to believe that petrified wood would catch fire so fast and spread quickly to every corner of the roof and spire.

Again, Notre Dame had 2 people who were permanently there monitoring the roof for any potential fire incidents. And a whole system of sensors that was supposed to detect any incipient fire. Then there's a false alarm and then the whole roof catches fire so fast, when the firemen arrive it's too late to simply stop it.

Something doesn't quite add up here.

PS. Also, all this stuff happens a few days before the Catholic Easter starts. And some days later, there's a huge terror attack on Catholic churches in Sri Lanka.

The only way to prove that is wasn't on purpose is if the perpetrators tell us themselves that they didn't do it.

Why should I believe any particular hypothesis if it hasn't been satisfactorily proven yet?

As I said, I don't believe any scenario yet, I'm just saying something doesn't add up in this story. Why should I believe in a narrative that is very convenient for your point of view? I'm keeping all options open.
