💨 Abstract

At least 40 young people died and 115 were injured in a New Year's party fire at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. The blaze, caused by a lit candle, spread rapidly due to the venue's flammable materials and single exit. Witnesses described horrifying scenes as people struggled to escape. The fire is one of Switzerland's worst tragedies, with many victims being young.
