But in order to know exactly what happened, investigators have to find clues in the debris. It will take a long time, and since the fire was so violent, there is little hope : clues are certainly destroyed. We won't even learn from the mistake that was made so that it never happens again.

I'm happy that the organs can be saved. I don't think it's possible to build an exact replica of that kind of instrument.

I am fairly confident that they will be able to find out what caused the fire eventually. I believe they use burn patterns and chemicals devices to determine where the fire started and if an accelerant was used.(Not saying there was!) Bust just an example of a few techniques I know they use. But maybe ur right, maybe they won't know the exact source, but I am hoping they will get fairly close at least.

I am now waiting for the conspiracy theorist to come out and claim that the fire was staged to raise funds.....
