It was 7:30 in the morning when flames could be seen bursting out the top of the 17th century building. The Borson is the site of the former Stock Exchange in the centre of Copenhagen. It was being renovated as the flames consumed the historic 56 meter high Spire passes by joined employees from the building in grabbing artworks to stop those from being lost as well. But firefighters best efforts couldn’t save the historic spot. Deputy Prime Minister called it our own Notre Dame moment. This comes almost five years to the day since Paris famous landmark also went up in smoke. Fortunately no one was injured, but much of the 400 year old building in Copenhagen has been badly damaged and the damage to the city’s heart will take a long time to repair in London.
