I'll bet there's more to this story. Keeping my opinions to myself until the investigation is over though.

Ain't that a novel concept?

While the staggering outside damage to the historic French cathedral has yet to be assessed, it would appear that despite the massive damage to the frame and the wooden roof, the inside of the Notre Dame was miraculously spared.


We've had a few large apartment-building fires, a couple started by welders and one by a roofing-tar heater.

With the size of it I doubt they will be able to figure out how it actually started either, all they could do is guess.

Here it's called "gawker's block". It happens in CA. It happens everywhere. It's human nosiness.

Pete Buttigieg demonstrates that he really cares about the French.

Too bad he's running for President of the USA.
