Notre Dame fire: No workers were in the cathedral, no heat sources were near the timber frame
Was it arson? Maybe. Would French authorities admit the fact if it were? Possibly not. Is there any group in France responsible for the spate of fires and vandalism at churches? At least one has been the work of a Muslim migrant, and Islam does have a 1,400-year history of destroying churchesin Europe and elsewhere.
Does that mean that it is Muslims who are attacking churches in France, and who destroyed Notre Dame? Of course not. It's a possibility that should be investigated, as should other possibilities. To dismiss this possibility out of hand as "Islamophobic" is to be terminally naive and/or ideologically blinkered.
"Notre-Dame: 'The work had not started yet, only the scaffolding was being assembled,'" translated from "Notre-Dame: 'Les travaux n'avaient pas encore débuté, seuls les échafaudages étaient en cours de montage,'" Fdesouche.com, April 16, 2019 (thanks to Maxime Lépante):
The frame, the roof and the spire of the cathedral are destroyed. It will now be necessary to evaluate the state of the structure. The fire came on Monday as major renovations were underway.
(…) "The hotspots are the main obsession in a restoration work of this magnitude," says the chief architect of historical monuments, François Chatillon, about Notre Dame. A simple weld on lead can heat the wood below. The chief architect of historical monuments responsible for the restoration of the spire of Notre Dame, Philippe Villeneuve, states: "the work had not started yet, only the scaffolding was being assembled." From his point of view, "the hot spot hypothesis is therefore not the right one".
"Notre-Dame de Paris: 'Nothing points in the direction of an intentional act' at the beginning of the investigation," translated from "Notre-Dame de Paris: 'Rien ne va dans le sens d'un acte volontaire', selon les débuts de l'enquête," Le Journal du Dimanche, April 16, 2019 (thanks to Maxime Lépante):
The safety procedures on the Notre-Dame de Paris construction site "have been respected," said one of the leaders of the scaffolding of the cathedral on BFMTV Tuesday, the day after the fire that ravaged the building. "All I can tell you right now is that at the start of the fire, absolutely none of the employees of my company was present on site," said Julien Le Bras, adding that all employees of his company, Europe Echafaudage, participated in the inquiry "without any reservation".
An observer on the scene in France, Maxime Lépante, who sent these two links, also writes:
One of my friends sent me an email concerning the security on the roof of Notre-Dame. She has a diploma in Art History and studied in the "Ecole du Louvre" ("Louvre School", where students learn art history and restoration processes): "I visited the framing of Notre Dame with architects of the "Bâtiments de France" ("Buildings of France", the highest rank for an architect in France), some years ago. This 13th century timber frame was extremely protected. Each intervention is always accompanied by historians, architects, experts; no work is envisaged without extreme caution; no source of heat, no torch, no electrical apparatus is allowed; a high-performance alarm system is in place; and very strict supervision of all people allowed there. I think we will eventually learn that this was arson.
