The Spin

Narrative A

Paris’ gas network is a ticking time bomb, yet, despite the city's government being charged with involuntary manslaughter over the 2019 blast, nothing has been done to keep people safe. A gas leak likely caused Wednesday’s blaze, but even if it had another origin, the Paris City Council should work quickly to rebuild its rundown gas network to avoid another tragic event.

Narrative B

It’s too early to determine the exact cause of Wednesday’s explosion, but the most important priority at this moment is to rescue those trapped under the rubble and nurse injured victims back to health. Local officials and police will thoroughly investigate the cause of the fire, and Paris will work to rebuild and heal from this incident.
