Investigators are treating the fire that engulfed Paris’ Notre
Dame Cathedral as an accident for now, the local prosecutor’s office said
Monday evening.
Paris police will investigate
the disaster as “involuntary destruction caused by fire” and have ruled out
arson and potential terror-related motives for starting the blaze, officials
said.
The
prosecutors’ statement came moments after a government official and the Paris
fire chief said they were optimistic that the cathedral’s world-famous bell
towers had been saved from the fire, and that the main structure of the
building remained intact. It was a rare piece of good news on a night that left
thousands in the streets of the French capital and millions around the world
looking on in shock as one of the world’s great religious, cultural and
historic landmarks was consumed by flames.
