Moment spire collapses at Copenhagen’s old stock exchange

1. The old Stock Exchange “Børsen” was a historic and very beautiful building in Copenhagen – 400 years old 🏰 ❤

2. Just as Notre Dame’s new spire is unveiled! It seems we have a global anti-spire arsonist on our hands.

4. I’m so traumatized. At first I thought it was Gaza 😭

5. After this and Notre-Dame , we really should stop trying to renovate famous buildings.

6. et stykke danmarkshistorie der forsvinder 😞💔🇩🇰

7. Commiserations to the former workers of this iconic building.
   With the benefit of hindsight, I sincerely hope that lessons will be learned this time and building safety procedures will be reviewed thoroughly and vigorously to ensure that this doesn't occur again on UK soil.
   Resolve and meaningful dialogue, not the usual lip service given by opportunistic career politicians or useless Mayors

8. The Netherlands?

9. This is horrible!

10. Horrible. 🙁

11. Oh LOOK, another ""Electrical Fire""

12. This building was not just an iconic national symbol and landmark built by Denmark’s most renowned king; it housed hundreds of invaluable paintings, thousands of manuscripts, documents, and tomes, as well as sculptures and priceless artifacts created by Europe's legendary artists and artisans through 400 years. The rooms themselves, masterpieces of artistry, were the sites of many of Denmark’s most crucial, destiny-altering decisions made by famed figures. The magnitude of this tragedy cannot be overstated—it is a profound loss not just for Denmark, but for Europe as a whole. Four hundred years of the richest forms of European culture, history and heritage have gone up in flames.

13. The Guardian likes this as the Exchange represents capitalism.

14. How in God's name is this kind of fire , similar to the French Notre Dame , possible again ? The building was also in the scaffolding . Why not just leave the building alone , insead of messing with it and destroying it because of that ? Why not evacuate the building of its riches and paintings out of precaution when work is in progress on the building ? Which dumb person has decided to omit that ? What an idiocy , what a catastrofic mistake .

15. Notre Dame caught fire 15th April and this 16th April. Spooky.

17. * FINALLY the people of copenhagen can relate, when the rest of us cry out in agony……

18. 😢

19. It's never been officially acknowledged but Notre Dame came down the same way. "Accidentally" set on by fire immigrant workers.

20. 😂😂😂😂

21. No doubt it's time to blame Russia and/or China.

22. 😢😢😢😢😢

23. The danish government just got caught by a soldier, for violating their own constitution, it was by a homeland security officer who declared war on the government, police, and main military for it the day before. The unit that caught the state was the resistance movement in WW2. The fire was a political strike after the government kept hiding the violation from its citizens. The police have even been aggressive in arresting the officer but failed the day before this, now their building is burning! The police think they can beat a military officer now look at their building burning.

24. Danish authorities starting the renovation:
    Notre Dame… what do you mean… Notre Dame?
