I love Notre-Dame de Paris. I've been there at least a dozen times and never get tired of seeing it. In less than ten days the family and I will be back in France. We won't be spending any time in Paris though so unfortunately I won't get to visit the Cathedral this time. Looking forward to when it will finally be reopened. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

Did they ever determine who (or what) caused the fire? God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

I was in Madrid when the fire happened, quite the tragic sight. Good to see things are progressing with the old lady, hope it all goes to schedule and they can celebrate its reopening soon. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Google Fu says, no, lots of conjecture, finger pointing, innuendo, anything from construction work to new electronic bells installed in that tower..... | |||

Not that I can see There were a couple theories: 1. Worker's cigarette (they all still smoke like crazy over there compared to the US) 2. Worker's welding or other hot work 3. Arson caused by ? | |||

That article about the trees being used is pretty fascinating, I had heard that they were going to look at South America for some alternative hardwoods or even use modern materials like steel and concrete instead but it looks like they decided to go with all oak and from France:

It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out who (not what) caused the fire. The same thing that caused the dozens of other church fires in France, the dozens throughout Europe, and the nearly 100 across Canada. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."

What crazy conspiracy are you trying to point to? That fire was caused by a dumbass construction worker or electrical short by all accounts and evidence. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

Boy, there must be a whole lot of careless construction workers across Canada and Europe. Believe what you want. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

There’s a great documentary ( Nat geo I think?) that shows the rebuild of the roof and how they went to some old growth forests and got timbers from the same area as the ordinal and brought in craftsmen from around the world to fix it. | |||

Just as an information sidebar, when making one of my several visits to Nikko [Japan] a few years back, I was told by one of the Tokyo University historians fellas in my party that all the huge tree trunks I could see stockpiled along one particular route were specially imported from Oregon, where such huge timbers were the norm, Apparently the US Forestry Service trade branch has special dispensation for the wood to go to Japan with the bark intact, after fumigation, of course. | |||

Come on. Enlighten us poor benighted souls. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Oh please.  Spare me your feigned ignorance. If you can't see, or claim that you can't see, the attack on Christianity (and more specifically Catholicism) and those who are committing it, that is going on in this world, then I can't help you. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."
