  • Denmark's historic old stock exchange building in the centre of Copenhagen has been engulfed by fire.
    The 17th Century Børsen is one of the city's oldest buildings and onlookers gasped as its iconic spire collapsed in the flames.
    Everyone inside the building was able to leave and people rushed to rescue some of its historic paintings.

    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 and history have gone up in flames.

      I guess when Danes can't deliver their ill-gotten gains back from where they looted them (with them being burned and all). Danes may have to pay compensation for the loss of these treasures to the cultures from where they pillaged them from.

      So why on earth didn't they put it all into storage elsewhere during renovation work? It's only a couple of years since exactly the same thing happened to Notre Dame, so it would have been an obvious precaution to take. This really could have been avoided. There will be a lot of difficult questions to answer by whoever signed off the risk assessment.

      You have no idea how interested in this story I am.
      For months and months now, I've been looking into the phenomenon of fires "destroying" stone structured buildings from "the old world", mostly because of the questioned true age of these buildings.
      There's (just to give one specific example) a UA-cam channel called "My Lunch Break" which is looking specifically at the topic of old world building fires at this very moment in its series.
      I am ABSOLUTELY interested in this case - even though I'm unfamiliar with this building personally, I can see exactly why it's as important to you and many, many others, as it is.
      I think the structure was weakened during the course of its "renovation", which could explain why the building was covered in a tarpaulin - to conceal what was really happened there.
      Now's the time to collect as much evidence of the past of the building - photos, videos, "records" of its construction, other previous "fires" [in the location], scale models etc.
      And to find out *precisely* what caused the fire, and how parts of the building such as the spire (which I'm presuming was made of stone?), are able to be detached by being burnt in a fire.
      If by some extraordinary effort it's able to be returned to its original configuration _(somehow),_ that will help many of us, I'm sure.

      There are already being thought up measures to better ensure the historic buildings. And as for the reconstruction of Børsen, the Mayor of Copenhagen has been in contact with her colleague in Paris, and agreed to send a team of experts to Paris, to learn what the reconstruction of Notre Dame can teach.

    Copenhagen central station ( Hovedbanegården ) is also an old ( 1911 ) stylish building. Some repair works were carried out in 1986 in one side of the big hall where the local electric trains pass ( S-tog after German Schnell-Bahn )
    The workmen had a big jar with remnants of paint and thinner liquid. The vapors of such liquids spread quickly and are very inflammable. Somebody probably smoked a cigarette nearby and the jar went up in flames.
    Yet the fire was put out after a short time because the main Copenhagen fire brigade ( Hoved-Brandstationen København ) is merely five minutes away.
    That side of the Central Station was completely renovated in the original style.
    *
    The distance from the main fire station to the Stock Exchange from 1622 ( Børsen ) is merely a ten minutes drive whereby it is odd that the entire building burned down.
    Why odd ? Because clerks were working in the building and they no doubt called the fire brigade the minute they smelled sharp smoke.
    *
    The building is about a hundred meters long. Thus if the fire started merely in one place and even in an open jar with inflammable liquids it should have been possible for the well equipped fire brigade ( powerful monitors and water cannons , high extension ladders ) to save large portions of the building.
    *
    There was a similar fishy fire two years ago in outer Copenhagen ( Grøndals-parken ).
    Four long blocks each with flats in four stores from about 1935 all caught fire simultaneously in the dry wooden lofts with lumber-rooms. When the fire brigade from a nearby local station ( Tomsgården Brandstation ) arrived 15 minutes later they had no chance of saving any part.
    *
    Everybody left their apartments in time nobody was injured.
    If you watch the films from that fire here on UA-cam you will admit that
    the fire cannot have started in one lumber-room and then spread to the lumber-rooms in the other three blocks.
    Because in that case some lumber rooms would have been completely ashes while others almost intact when the brigade arrived. There was only little wind that day. See:
    "Grøndals Parkvej brand" or
    "Hvordan går 90 lejligheder i brand på rekordtid"
    How do 90 flats all catch fire in no time (a record time ).
    That question has never been answered and probably never will be neither for
    the Stock Exchange because such violent fires conveniently delete all traces , footsteps and fingerprints.
    *
    Yet it is a nice place there is a several kilometers long park across the road where I used to toboggan in the winter as a child. My guess is that new buildings with expensive condos will be built by some big property-owner.
    *
    Let's see whether the government sells the piece of land where the Stock Exchange was and what will be built there and by whom. Sagen stinker.

      My office is across the street from Christiansborg, which is right next to Børsen. In my building there’s a restaurant, and it only takes a little too much smoke in the kitchen, before the whole building has to get out of there (it has happened quite a few times).
