Copenhagen Stock Exchange Inferno -The Iconic Spire About to Come Down

Terrifying Moment Denmarks' Historic Stock Exchange Building Burns Down-

'We're going down, we have to get out!'


MailOnline 16 APR 2024







































A view of the Old Stock Exchange in Copenhagen, Denmark, January










This is the terrifying moment builders caught up in the Copenhagen stock exchange inferno realised that the iconic spire was about to come down on them.




Footage shows builders working on the scaffolding outside the landmark building as they were running away from the flames which broke out around 7.30am.

One of the workers was Ole Hansen, 60, a bricklayer, who said he noticed the fire on the roof and quickly snapped a picture, before telling his colleagues to rush to safety.

'There were some stonemasons who shouted: "We have to go down, we have to get out",' Hansen, who was working on the scaffolding alongside 14 others, told Danish outlet ***bladet 3F.

'I have never experienced anything like this,' he added, before saying that he was quite shaken by the inferno after barely getting away before the building's 400-year-old spire collapsed.

'It was just terrible,' apprentice carpenter Claus Wolter Hansen agreed.

Danes have expressed their horror at '400 years of culture going up in flames' after the huge blaze broke out at the historic stock exchange.
Authorities are scrambling to preserve artefacts of the city's rich history, with even passers-by seen carrying large paintings away from the building in a race to save them from the spreading flames, which police said was under control around 3pm.
