Sorry, 11:15.

Couldn't imagine being one of the firefighters having to make relays into the burning Church to haul out precious Christian/Catholic relics. What if you tripped and broke a relic while trying to dodge a falling beam or something? I'd feel terrible, I'd just jump into the fire.

There’s no wooden beams supporting the ceiling of the building. the wooden roof is above the stone vault

Do they know what caused it? I’m guessing electrical fire related to the ongoing construction. Perhaps a piece of equipment caught fire.

Isn't the mosque at the same site where the temple was built by King Soloman?

A thousand years old.

The fire seems to have been contained. But ppl are saying it's eerie that both ND and Al Aqsa caught fire the same day.

Hope not. Otherwise Israel would claim the land, rebuild the temple and kick off Armageddon.
