All smokers on the job site are pointing fingers at each other. No one is gonna own up to that. Sorry boss, I accidentally burned one of the worlds most historic buildings to the ground. [Reply]
I dont know anything about France but I suppose it has OSHA like safety requirements. In the USA very few instance where smoking would be allowed inside a renovation. Pretty much if the building is no smoking inside you can bet those worker were not allowed to.
Could be welding and grinding taking place. Electrical short some those tools require power. Just to many things that can go south on a construction site. [Reply]

Uh ... Hitler ordered the city to be completely demolished with V2s and mortars as France was falling to the Allies. That destruction was to include all historic buildings, monuments, bridges, etc.
von Choltitz chose to disobey the order ... a rare act of disobedience for a Nazi general. Instead, he had his men fire a few token shots (in order to maintain their "honor") then capitulate.

But, unfortunately, many Catholic churches in France have been the target of arson over the past year or so ...

I will be greatly surprised if it's not an act of terrorism. Sad story and hopes for a quick rebuilt and the unification of those who prayed and practiced their faith at Notre Dame. [Reply]

Yeah, good point. That's probably a better explanation. [Reply]
