💨 Abstract
A fire at the "Le Constellation" bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, killed 40 people, mostly teenagers, on New Year's Day. The bar had not undergone annual safety inspections since 2019. The fire was likely caused by sparkler candles igniting soundproofing foam on the ceiling. Authorities are investigating the bar's operators for negligence.
