Spire collapses as fire engulfs Copenhagen's stock exchange

STORY: One eyewitness captured on video the moment when the burning spire collapsed.

The historic building, whose spire was shaped as the tails of four dragons intertwined, had been under renovation and clad in scaffolding when the fire broke out.

Parts of the roof had collapsed and the fire spread to several floors of the building, Copenhagen fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen told reporters.
