#Update: WORLD EXCLUSIVE my source on the ground in #Paris says that the firefighter has said, it was impossible that the fire managed to spread so fast at the #NotreDame because electrical equipment or wires in the wooden space, was prohibited to be used in fear of sparks.— Sotiri Dimpinoudis ❁ (@sotiridi) April 16, 2019
Says all electrical wires of the construction crew, were guided on the side of the building or the cranes if used at the time, and was not in contact with the wooden space at the #NotreDame church in #Paris. Says regulations were strictly and always followed by the company.— Sotiri Dimpinoudis ❁ (@sotiridi) April 16, 2019
Looks like some people did something.
Fire could have spread that fast there because of hundreds of years old dry wood. Cities had horrible conflagrations centuries before any buildings had wiring. Also, once the steeple fell, the fire was able to breathe and get much more oxygen in.
