DISINFO: A "prediction" of Notre Dame's fire found in a Rammstein video

SUMMARY

A scandalous video by German rock group Rammstein, contains a “prediction” of the fire in Notre Dame de Paris.

RESPONSE

Unfounded claims, presented without any evidence. Rock videos cannot really be referred to as "predictions". According to French prosecutors, the fire that tore through Notre-Dame cathedral was probably caused by accident.
