Wouldn't rule out a christo hand in it at all. It's what christos did with clockwork regularity in <b>Korea</b>, after all. Quoting from http://www.buddhapia.com/eng/tedesco/2.html with additional paras above and below to give some context:

April. The Hyangmok Committee of the Seoul City Government gathers military reserve forces under its control for a (taesônghoe) church service. Some of the members are compelled to attend even though they are not Christian. 

July 29. The huge main Dharma Hall and a temple dormitory at Potasa Temple, Oksudong, Sôngdonggu, Seoul are completely burned to the ground. A 23-year old follower of the Taesônjillihoe (Great Conversion Truth Church) is arrested at the scene.  Damage is estimated at $1.1 million according to the Chogye Order report.
(2 buildings) 

October 27. The huge Taeunjôn, the main Dharma Hall, and a temple dormitory at Pohyônsa Temple in Taegu are completely burned to the ground. Though the modern buildings were erected in 1985, the police determine that each building must have suffered an <b>"electrical short circuit," </b>and no further investigations are conducted.

1990 May 2. Two men break into the Buddhist Broadcasting System (BBS, the first Buddhist radio station in Korea) in Seoul, two days before it is due to begin broadcasting a combination of popular music and Buddhist teaching and cultural programs. They tie up two guards, and proceed to destroy all of the radio station's recording and transmission equipment. They smash expensive electronic gear and tear up several state-of-the-art recording booths. At one point, they use a statue of the Buddha as a battering ram to break through several plate-glass recording booth windows and use the Buddha's head to damage computer equipment, sound boards, reel-to-reel decks, and screens. Damage is estimated in the millions of dollars, and delays the opening of the station by several months. No arrests are ever made.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->(1991)
Sept. 23. Pudo Am Hermitage at Tonghwasa Temple is destroyed by fire.

Oct. 15. Haeundae Buddhist Mission Bldg in Pusan is destroyed by fire.

October. The huge main Dharma Hall (Taeunjôn) at Pongwônsa Temple in the Shinch'on district of Seoul is totally destroyed by fire.  The hall was registered as Seoul city Cultural Asset Number 68. This temple was the headquarters of the T'aego Order, the second-largest Buddhist sect in Korea at the time of the incident. A guard at the temple testified to seeing two men flee into the mountains behind the temple as the building burst into flames.  Local police conclude that there is no evidence, that there was probably an <b>"electrical short circuit,"</b> and the fire was quickly declared "an accident." Three large Buddha statues and altar portraits considered treasures are destroyed.

November. Military reserves stationed in Kyôngnam Province (many of them Buddhist) are forced to attend a Protestant revival meeting, presumably by a superior officer.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
When one takes into account the big picture (that is, see the event as part of the entire chronology and in context of other related events), one can't rule out christoterrorism in accomplishing this miracle of gawd. Especially since christianity has been desperately active in the temple area for quite some time now. They could have got fed up with how things were only going at a snail's pace and thought about speeding up the conquest for christ.

#261:<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A massive fire atop Tirumala Hills, near the temple precincts, in the wee hours of Monday destroyed about 64 shops causing damage to property worth crores of rupees.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->The innocent christos will come rushing in with their looted money to 'help the unfortunate Hindus' (who lost their livelihood thanks to the fire) 'get back on their feet again'. The price? Their eternal gratitude: please accept jeebus as your lawd.
Spiffy plan, must say. Whatever started the fire, the miracle could well work out in a most gawdly manner.
