A New Year’s Eve fire at a Swiss bar killed 40 people, mostly teens, due to unattended candles and safety neglect.
A New Year’s Eve fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, killed 40 people, mostly teenagers, and injured over 100, shocking the nation and exposing safety gaps in its tourism sector.
The bar had not been inspected in six years, and sparking candles are believed to have triggered the blaze.
The disaster prompted cancellations in the resort and nearby Verbier, raised concerns over inconsistent safety rules across cantons, and led to investigations into the owners for negligent homicide.
Calls are growing for nationwide safety standards, mandatory building insurance, and better oversight, though resistance to federal control remains due to Switzerland’s tradition of local autonomy.
