Paris FD drill:
Posted on 04/16/2019 8:09:13 AM PDT by RummyChick
My immediate thought, after being alerted by a FR headline, then looking at the plume of smoke and fire, was, oh, they’ll put it out. Then it was out of control and the spire was collapsing. It seemed then that there was perhaps a propellant in use.
Same exact story and reaction to 9/11
Not that ito suggest was lit by anyone intentionally perhaps it was incompetent workers accidentally igniting the ancient wood But why did Paris not have a better more proper response? Was it impossible to do? Or did they not care enough? And why not a fire brigade stationed on the Ile?
Well, God Blessed France in so many ways. I hope the Parisians get that, but...
No sprinkler system to protect this place?
Paris FD drill:
Seeing the magnitude of the fire at the cathedral, the firemen starting to surrender en masse.
The Monsignor is incorrect. The soul of Paris has already been destroyed. It has been willingly surrendered to the barbarians.
I can see no logical reason to believe that there is any hope for western Europe.
1950: Beirut is the Paris of the Middle East
2019: Paris is the Beirut of Europe
IOW, the first group got there and did a thorough search of that huge building and left all within a few short minutes.
Then, on the second alarm, they picked lent from their belly buttons for an hour before turning on the water.
A modern fire detection system identifies what sensor tripped. So you go to that sensor’s location and see what is going on there. Was that done?
Likely the Rose Window will be replaced with a crescent.
“Seeing the magnitude of the fire at the cathedral, the firemen starting to surrender en masse.”
That’s what I wanted, but I couldn’t find an image. Perhaps my search terms were faulty.
It may have been the smell of smoke that triggered the initial call. It can take time to track that down.
I am keeping my mind open, but in light of everything, one of the things I am keeping open is muslim involvement.
Made me wince. So true, so ugly.
We would have to be brain dead to rule out the real possibility of that. IMO, baring *clear cut* evidence that it was not Muslims, I would make my bets that it was.
Muslims are running amok in Paris, basically attacking churches (and non Muslims). We don't even have an accurate count of how churches and how much damage they are causing.
In the absence of concrete evidence that it was an accident, it is only logical and prudent to consider them the primary suspects.
“If it turns out not to be a tragic accident but intentionally set we have to look at the religion of peace angle.”
If it was in the US, I would say dems was just as likely
Very good.
I am open to all possibilities at this point. Intentional, accident, lets see the evidence (assuming they don't cherry pick it to fit a narrative).
That said, the roof was made of 150 year old wood (from a 19th century replacement) and lead (which melts and runs and spreads the fire). I could see that going up really fast whether it was set intentionally or someone left a soldering iron on when they left for the day.
Yeah, that one's going to be a little...awkward. I don't think anyone's going to be bringing croissants.
Given the spate of church desecrations apparently happening in France, and that is a week before Easter I agree that until I hear otherwise, I give credence to muslim involvement.
Ah. First alarm was to clear building. Terrorists probably wore fire suits. Fake fireman.
(They could make a chunk of money just selling the charcoal on the floor ... I have a piece of the Berlin wall, why not a piece of Notre Dame?)
