Yes, horrible loss. I was there in the cathedral in ‘71... I remember the beautiful stained glass windows. I had a new electronic camera with auto-exposure up to 30 seconds... took some pictures of them. Thank goodness they were saved.
I have not seen a technical explanation of the structure, but from what I understand, the wood frame was between the stone arched ceiling (that is visible in interior photos) and the roof surface (whatever that was made of, maybe slate tiles?) So it was hidden from view.
In that case, I believe it would be better to reconstruct this hidden roof frame with metal (steel, aluminum, titanium?) to help prevent a future fire. Maybe I’ll see it completed in my lifetime.
“””The gilet jaune or yellow vest, is standard safety attire throughout France.
It is likely that anyone involved with restoration work on the cathedral would be wearing one. It does improve visibility which is always a good thing around worksite with heavy equipment in use.”””
FWIW:
I’m liking your first theory much better:
“””There were Sapeurs Pompiers (firefighters - literally sapper pumpers) on site during the renovation work. I think the person in the video is one of the onsite SPs.”””

Chef, if you could cook up the mystery person’s religious and political beliefs......naaah, never mind. :)
On Papadopoulos:
WOW! Thanks for that collection of PapaD data! (I also grabbed the other one linked by the Oracle.)
Great reportage of your Fresno Tea Party rally Bagster!
We all need to be getting out loud and proud! Let the derps know we’re not hiding in fear!
And you never know, might meet cute future ex-wives or husbands :) at least supper table discussions won’t be derpish arguments.

Got the book. Need some eyes and time. TBD
