Grievous details are slowly emerging from the tragedy in Crans-Montana, where a fire at the Le Constellation bar claimed the lives of 47 people. An Italian-speaking woman employed by a cleaning company in the area told Swiss media outlet Blick that the bar “had no emergency exits” and was built on two floors, making escape impossible for many young people. “Those guys had no chance,” she said.
According to BFMTV, the owners of the bar are a French couple who have lived in the tourist area for about ten years and own two other bars. The owner was in the bar at the time of the fire and suffered burns on her arm, while her husband was in another bar.
Among the testimonies that have touched public opinion are those of two girls in their 20s from Piedmont, Italy, who narrowly escaped the tragedy. They had just arrived to celebrate the New Year and were entering the bar through the stairs when they saw the flames and managed to escape. Another girl said that she stopped just before the entrance after hearing the cries of "fire" and seeing people coming out with burnt skin.
Swiss authorities are continuing investigations into the causes of the fire and compliance with safety standards, while new evidence has raised suspicions of serious violations in fire protection.
