    Arson/fire investigators do some amazing work but you got me.

    Maybe they use duaI-coIumn gas chromatograph with fIame anaIysation detectors.

    A lot of it is reading how the wood and other objects burn. If it all traces back to where you know a junction box was it's pretty easy to guess from there. Lack of any accelerants being detected is part of it too.

    I'm fine with that but I get to pick which specific ones.

    Nothing.. just fail to believe in less than a few days with the amount of destruction, that they could pin point it to an electrical short...
    to me it is like looking at a blown up engine.. with many subsequent failures.. which happens first the valve or cam chain..oil pump or rods... with such a catastrophic failure it could never be known.

    Yeah but if you talk to the rider and you saw where the smoke started coming from and so on you'd be able to pin down the engine failure pretty quickly. I'm sure they don't have an absolute cause yet but they're close to sorting it out.

    Fire is organic and follows strict laws of chemistry and physics. A co-dependent mechanical system experiencing a failure isn't very similar IMO.

    Some do but I have a question for you. If you were in possession of an actual piece of a cross that someone was crucified on 2000 years ago would you value it? How about a coin minted by the ancient greeks?

    As to the religious part you obviously are not so it would be wasted on you. Personally I find it a bit ironic that people that are religious seem to ignore a commandment to not worship idols which is what relics would seem to be. Someone more trained might know some logic but to me it seems weird other than from a historic stand point.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    You know what? Fuck the Catholic church. The only headline they deserve is the thousands (thousands, not hundreds) of sexual misconduct cases they've covered up over the decades. Fuck em. Their precious building can rot.

    It's not theirs evidently, belongs to the government. I can see it having a tourist money draw so probably worth rebuilding.
