We're meticulous and thorough. Right? So, since everyone and their mother have some theories about the Notre Dame fire and how it happened, why not do an experiment.
In comes this mad lad from what I can only assume is Eastern Germany (via his accent), someone who works with wood for a living apparently. And he tries to recreate the incineration of an old wooden beam. It is very enlightening, especially for city slickers like us who know wood only from the TV and have to believe what the news anchor tells us.
If you're too lazy to watch: It's fucking hard to incinerate old wood. He tries out a lot, from gasoline to a fucking flame thrower (!), but he doesn't manage to incinerate the wooden beam. His own thoughts are at the end.
Thats not how you start fires, ignition comes from the flame not downwards heat. It is wacky though how an electrical fault can set off a plaster covered building
Oy vey, many of those wooden beams had been wrapped with oil-soaked rags (to preserve them) as is typical when one is restoring medieval architecture. And then they wooden beams had hot electrical wires draped over them, all done according to the standards of the European Building Code. It's all perfectly normal and not unusual in the least. Don't you goyim know anything about architectural restoration?
>Well, the conclusion of the whole story is - at least according to my tests - it wasn't a cigarette bum, it was not welding, wasn't a small amount of gasoline either. The whole thing must have been strongly set up, that's what I would say. Anyone who has ever made a campfire, think about it. To set a beam on fire, you need a quick fire in the beginning, you do that over chips, etc. or a lot of gasoline. Gasoline. gasoline, gasoline. As I said, write me what I should try. Without ... yes, I can not think of anything.
Just write me what I should do to make such a fat beam burn. And I guess the bars in the cathedral were a little bit stronger, that's a 15x15 [cm] from 1700, fart dry and even a minute, I have to look again what it was exactly, of full propane firing just does not cause the thing to burn. So.
>As I said, it's my first video, so be a bit forgiving. Otherwise ... haha, give me a thumbs up or down, IDGAF. This si about thinking of what we are told about burned this thing and why. Political stuff, let's ignore that, whether it was a Bandana-George or a Construction worker-bernd. That does not matter, that does not belong here now.
Parker Campbell
From 1700, according to the guy.
Jackson Adams
That guy has a point. Reminds me of some architect/company which specializes in wooden houses. Dunno, somewhere in Europe. Their tech is to use massive logs as walls, instead of plywood or bricks. They are just as fireproof as brick buildings and even better to heat during winter because thick wood is a great insulator against heat and cold.
Nathan Parker
no, this one doesn't have it. It only gave me automatic in German.
Thanks friend. this is pretty based. It'd be better if someone german speaking wrote in subs for him and got him to add them so it could be spread better though
Benjamin Myers
Well no shit... I don't think that was the story. As with most fires, some other smaller, more flammable objecty lying around caught fire, burned for a while and that caused the actual structure to catch fire.
Nolan Wilson
Btw: "fart dry" (furztrocken) is German slang for "extremely dry". Just in case you are confused.
Nolan Hall
In the US we have a similar saying. Dry as a popcorn fart
Ryder Howard
They were soaked up before hand with some kind of oilish wax passing as maintenance but fucking inflamable. So they only had to spark a little bit of fire and watch the whole thing burn.

Except your ass, of course.

EU hiring standards are a joke. Specially jobs like polishing, cleaning and putting chems around.
Joshua Murphy
it's located by the banks of a river, can't be that dry
I was there because I did it myself, praise be to allah.
Aaron Scott
What the frakunda are you taking about? The wood is literally on fire, but it goes out quickly. If this retard positioned it vertically the fire is then likely to sustain itself.
Colton Lopez
Dry as a duck's cunt.
Dylan Brown
>East Germans are not the smartest tools in the shed Stats seem to disagree with you
Incredible. Same shill answers as on kohlchan. If you want to see it, write him a comment.
>I'd believe if the flame came from a lower source. He is setting a flame on top of the wood. Heat rises so of course it goes out. Fire form above what happened at Notre Dame according to the official storyline, though.
Liam Allen
...
Anthony Green
No we don't
Dominic Edwards
You're the guy who gets BTFO on kohlchan for several days now. Give it a rest.
Parker Hernandez
There is no official story yet. There isn't even any reasoning as to what caused it.
Fits what the purged interview with the former architect of ND a few days back. How it odens't make sense how the fire spread, or that it burned in the first place. Oof.
God damn it, i love the truth-loving red-blooded germans.

>SH at 107 points I see my superiority has led to some controversey
Easton White
from many years of arranging kindling I have come to the conclusion that angled wood will catch most quickly this allows the fire to contact the surface of the wood without being significantly obstructed by it from this point of view it makes the most sense to start the fire underneath the steeple as it acts like a flue and is at the intersection of four channels of draft
As a fellow German (5% says 23andme), thank you for sharing this jewel from the Old Country.

I heat my house exclusively with wood heat and this is pretty much 100% correct. Pine catches easy and you can start it with a bit of paper and just split logs but oak and almond are hard as fuck to get going even when they are less than 15% moisture. You have to basically split it down to kindling or get a fire going with something else before you throw oak on it. Huge beams would be basically impossible to start by accident.
