The rector of Notre Dame said that the cathedral in Paris may have been burned by a fire started by a “computer glitch.”

The fire burned through the lattice of enormous oak beams supporting the monument’s vaulted stone ceiling, dangerously weakening the building. The surrounding neighborhood has since been blocked off, and stones have continued to tumble off the sides of the cathedral since the devastating blaze on April 15.
