'Our Notre Dame moment': Spire collapses as fire rages at Copenhagen's historic stock exchange
A fire has broken out at Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange, one of the Danish capital's best-known buildings, engulfing its spire which collapsed onto the roof in a scene reminiscent of the 2019 blaze at Paris's Notre-Dame cathedral.

They're comparing it to the loss of Notre Dame. People were rushing into the burning building to save paintings.
From the scaffolding and building wrap around the outside I do wonder if it's going to be the same sort of reason as Notre Dame - sparks from renovation work.
EDIT: I am aware I typed the year wrong, I've already asked a mod to fix it.
