Ex-Head Architect of Notre Dame doesn't believe

I translated an interview the former Head Architect of Notre Dame. Benjamin Mouton, did on French TV. LCI is one of their big MSMs. The reporter is like their Anderson Cooper. The architect does come out and say something is rotten, but he gives a good food for thought and explains all the safety measures in place at Notre Dame. Did my best on the translation, sorry if there are mistake. Archive video offline.

REPORTER: You said this type of wood does not burn

 

BENJAMIN MOUTON: Not like that, ah no, you know duchaine which is eight hundred years old, it's very hard if it is to burn. Well, I've never tried, but duchaine old oak is not easy at all. It would take a lot of small wood to do i, I do not know if there was… Alright, I'll stop joking. I can't believe it. It amazes me a lot.

 

REPORTER: And where does this reflection lead you? To what hypothesis does it take you?

 

BENJAMIN MOUTON: I do not have a hypothesis that I could say, that I can say. What hypothesis we could say? That… it was fast. And we could have done something else so it didn't go so fast. I'm losing myself in conjecture. You know, we made Notre Dame, just before I retired, that is to say around 2010, we overhauled all the electrical installations of Notre Dame, so there is no possibility of short circuit. We overhauled all contemporary standards, even by going so far with all the detection and fire protection of the cathedral with elements of the measures of aspiration, etcetera, etcetera, that allows you to detect a fire. Below the cathedral there are two men who are on guard, who are there day and night and who are there to go see as soon as there is an alert and call the fire department as soon as a doubt is raised.

 

REPORTER: They're always there?

 

BENJAMIN MOUTON: Always.

 

OTHER GUEST: (incomprehensible for anon)… mécanisme d' alerte ?

 

BENJAMIN MOUTON: Anything is possible. I just don't get it. Well, (incomprehensible for anon) colossal work, and then you know, it's like in all these sites of historical monuments, especially Notre Dame, we have a normative technical control framework, and it was quite strict, very considerable, that you don't even see anywhere else. So yeah, i mean, i'm still pretty stunned

>because fire doesn't melt old oak beams.

Petrified wood can't burn in a campfire or a fireplace like a normal hunk of dead pine tree, but you might be able to burn certain specimens of petrified wood, if they contained enough substances that can react with oxygen to release heat.
