On Thursday, Paris police investigators said they think an electrical short-circuit most likely caused the fire.
The Parisien newspaper has reported that investigators are considering whether the fire could be linked to a computer glitch or related to temporary elevators used in the renovation that was underway at the time the cathedral caught fire. Chauvet said there were fire alarms throughout the building, which he described as “well protected.”
Charlotte Hubert, president of a group of French architects who specialize in historic monuments, told BFM television that experts plan to spread a custom-made peaked tarpaulin across the cathedral’s roof, with enough space to also shield workers rebuilding the frame.

“Did Boeing program it?”
Or perhaps the FBI had a hand in the screw up.
They sure don’t seem to be narrowing it down. Elevators, computers...gee didn’t someone have a hotplate or soldering iron somewhere? Hey! maybe an old kerosene lamp...?

Was some lady milking a cow, who kicked over the lamp?
“No one ever saw the movie “Backdraft”?”
This wasn’t a backdraft. This was more like a large charcoal grill or a chiminea with a large volume of air under the fire feeding it.
“911 was based on a movie where terrorists fly a plane into the White House.”
Uh huh, and what movie was that?
Oh and for the record, I think it was the muzzies.
Oh...Microsoft is to blame!
This particular computer has the “halt and catch fire” machine instruction. /s
Macron has a 5 year re-build plan yaknow.. and when its done, they can install a Red Crescent on top of the new call to prayer tower.
I watched a plumber set a brand new house on fire sweating pipe. I’ve also been sweating pipe on my 50 plus year old house right up against wood studs. The wood takes a while to catch fire then goes pretty much out as soon as the torch is pulled away.
Plus, a single piece of wood won’t burn. It must be touching other pieces to really get going. I’m assuming that the post and beams on the roof weren’t laid out like a campfire.
I’m surprised that a building like that doesn’t have a fire/security team. A couple of people making regular rounds of the building, especially at off hours, could have caught fire at the start.
Short circuits will do that!
YEAH......riiiiiiight!!
Well that's a sad comment on the state of affairs.
None dare say Islam.
I’d say an insurance scam is more likely.

Computers do not make “glitches.” More likely, it was programmed incorrectly.
A “glitch” relieves someone of responsibility.
Notre-Dame de Paris: “It’s incomprehensible”

[Benjamin Mouton, former chief architect of Notre-Dame de Paris, is surprised that the fire has taken such magnitude, so quickly.]

“Mouton also revealed that there are two watchmen on duty around the clock who monitor for any chance of fire, adding that the technical and security measures taken to protect monuments like Notre Dame are unprecedented.”
Well that’s a sad comment on the state of affairs.
But I don’t buy the ‘short-circuit’ story or ‘computer glitch’ story at all—at least not yet. I don’t think investigators have been allowed to look at where the fire began. Everyone knows what everyone’s thinking. Putting out lame stories to try and get people to change their minds only encourages them to think that a coverup is in the works.
I myself, do not buy into the ‘cheese-eating surrender monkies view of the French’. They (at least French individuals) have shown a lot of back bone in dealing with terrorism. Give them time to sort this out. They may get it right.
