Too many ads on the Daily Mail site. The pop in and out. Fugetabout it. Won't read through that s___t. It's the ad's stupid.

ptsd1471 There's no way that 800 year old oak was accidentally set on fire. It was deliberate and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise. Our Lord and Our Lady won't stand for this long!!!!

SebGorka 🤣🤣 nice try.... next

So sad. They must feel awful I know I would.

Hundreds of years of history destroyed by one jack ass & his cigarette and the contracting company just come out & admit that they're actually the ones liable? We are actually supposed to believe this crp. Cmon you can do better.

SebGorka Anyone else have to look up 'Flouted'?

How much did they pay them to add this to the list of possible causes?

SebGorka

SebGorka DUBIOUS .

SebGorka Thought it was a fridge

They’re French, of course they smoked wherever they liked.

SebGorka I thought they said it was an electrical short

So all these multimillionaires with massive egos, donate your money to help 1000’s around the world, as there is no doubt this was insured....... it’s disgusting what good all that money could do, but instead they want to donate it to a building which should be insured anyway.

SebGorka A cigarette is not going to burn the whole structure down.

SebGorka Oh, so it wasnt a worker-blameless electrical fire. The plot thickens (or is just more firmly pointing to this being arson/terrorism). None of this is believable.

SebGorka Prediction: it was a terrorist attack and the church doesn’t want to tell the truth so they don’t ruffle their One World Religion Plan.

SebGorka Were they smoking Gaulois?

SebGorka We know who's responsible. Starts with an M. Why cover that up.

ok, but what race were they?

SebGorka Wood that old is petrified. Petrified wood does not burn that easily.

Ya sounds like the contractor is running cover , I'll bet he gets some nice future projects

PardesSeleh That 800 year old wood burned suspiciously fast

SebGorka The smoker’s name was Muhammad Grand Poobah.

SebGorka I thought it's globalwarming 's fault. Is it a lie?

PardesSeleh Rules aren’t for the French.

Cover up. No doubt about it.

Maybe the Daily Mail can do some reporting and find out who were these people on the roof just before the fire. This video is fully sourced in its description.

Misleading headline = garbage reporting.

Cigarette butts did not start the Notre Dame Cathedral fire.

Brilliant, i dont know whats more unbelievable, that a cigarette set those timbers ablaze or that the contracting firm admitted it. Laughable.

SebGorka Muslim Islamic terrorists admits setting the fire

SebGorka Lack of quality assurance in Europe is typical

SebGorka Sounds like coverup for terrorist act

You do surprise me,the French flouting a smoking ban.

Lies !!

Holy smoke

*sniff air* can anyone else smell that It smells like bull sh!t

Next, we'll implement a city-wide smoking ban. Oh wait, there WAS a smoking ban. Never mind.

Maureen6Johnson If it was that vulnerable it would have burned down long before now. If a contractor takes responsibility I bet they get a massive payday just after.

The scaffolding on the outside of the building?

Convenient cover story for a deliberate attack on a church

They should be prosecuted.

I’m not surprised. Countries such as France, Spain, Poland etc have different views on smoking than UK. I’m not saying that you wouldn’t get 1 or 2 flouting the rules here but the above seem to have a cultural acceptance of smoking everywhere including whilst working.

Gauloise dunnit! Get them to pay.

Incroyable

1,300 oak trees and a discarded fag end from a scaffolder - what could possibly go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

Neither the French or the Catholic Church have the guts to investigate or suggest Islamic Arson.

Hmmmmm.

bullshit
