Some were removed 4 days ago. I saw one report where fire trucks didn’t arrive for 2 hours. Seriously? I agree, something is wrong.
You figure blazing, 900 year old massive beams, crashing into the interior of the church. Followed up by molten lead and copper from what was the roof? And yet everything is just peachy? Not buying it.

A Muslim who tried to burn it down in 2016 coincidentally was sentenced to 8 years in prison today.
I watched it live in a lobby with many other people, and everyone there kept asking:
Where are the firefighters? When will they finally arrive? Why are they not dosing the Cathedral with water?
Later on, the TV commentators said the firemen "didn't want to use water, as it would damage the cathedral."
After the roof collapsed, we could finally see firehoses being employed.
Apparently, all the bronze statues of the Apostles had recently been taken down from the towers, because of the renovations. When I read this - I thought, uneasily, that it seems like quite a coincidence.
