    https://archive.ph/DJGW7 https://archive.ph/DJGW7 There's a graphic about halfway down that shows supposed "evidence" of accelerants being used when in fact they're either common to all fires, caused by the rapid cooling from water used to extinguish the fire, or are simply random occurrences completely unrelated to the fire. Yet to this day they are taught to investigators as rock solid evidence of arson.
