A French judicial police official said investigators think an electrical short-circuit most likely caused Notre Dame Cathedral fire.

The official, who spoke anonymously about the ongoing investigation, said investigators still don

If that turns out to be true, I owe Islam an apology. But lying cover-ups are so common, will we ever be sure?

[alloysteel]

It was an “electrical short-circuit”.

Riiiiiiiight.

[treetopsandroofs]

An ANONYMOUS source is willing to call it a short circuit?!

NO SALE, Big Media!!!

[VastRWCon]

Okay /s

“Some kind of electrical malfunction”

THAT is what CNN initially claimed (repeatedly) about the London Tube/Bus bombings.

They admonished it had nothing to do with terrorism.

Trial balloon?

[Leep]

Muslim’s brain short circuited?

[Joe 6-pack]

One must simply expect these things with 900 year old wiring.

[DCBryan1]

"short-circuit"

More like

investigators still don’t have the green light to work in the cathedral and search in the rubble for safety reasons.

But we will go ahead and declare a made-up cause anyway

The reference may be to the electrical short circuit that led to Mad Mo’s hallucinations. Sometimes a veiled reference is all the traffic will bear.

[Salvation]

I don’t believe this.

There were two fires.

One short-circuit doesn’t cause two fires in different locations.

[Leep]

They had wiring 900 years ago?

"investigators brought in to work out the cause of the inferno made the claims - despite them not having been given access to the church yet for safety reasons."

Amazing. A political announcement only.

... investigators think an electrical short-circuit most likely caused Notre Dame Cathedral fire...investigators still don’t have the green light to work in the cathedral and search in the rubble for safety reasons.

So, if investigators cannot actually look at things, how do they come to this conclusion?

[gaijin]

Two years ago:

Funny, isn't it:

Wherever you get large numbers of Muslims, you soon get ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTIONS.

Gosh, I wonder what's going on.

[MountainWalker]

I hope it’s true, but it’s sad that there will always be questions since we know that the media feels that politically inconvenient truths must be suppressed.

[N. Theknow]

Short circuit...hmmm

Guess 800 year old wiring would do that.

“The official, who spoke anonymously about the ongoing investigation, said investigators still don’t have the green light to work in the cathedral and search in the rubble for safety reasons.”

So absolutely no investigation has taken place yet but they already know that it was a short circuit and not Muslim arson?

Bullsh!t!
