afufle | Church fire (Reply)

It's really weird, this rather old church in the university area had both spires burn down, but the company that owns it is looking into getting it back into working condition. IT was a Roman Catholic church but in the las 10 years was rehabbed into a community hall, used for nonreligious functions.

Friday night I turned on the TV and all the local affiliates of NBC, ABC AND CBS were carrying the story live, the 2 spires were burning down as I watched. There was absolutely no speculation on what caused the fire, not any questions, just the newscasters talking about the historical value of the church to the community. I didn't watch all the coverage or read all the newspaper stories about it, but from what I did see there was none of the usual "Bob, does anyone know anything about how the fire started?" "Not yet Marie, but the fire chief has started the investigation."

I guess I need to Google it and read a lot, but it's just weird.

EDIT: Well nevermind, I just yahooed it and they are trying to determine the cause.

Ah, hope your steeples remain in good shape.
