VIDEO shows the start of a fire that left 41 dead during New Year's party at a bar in Switzerland
A new video has emerged showing the moment a fire broke out at a Swiss bar during a New Year's celebration, resulting in 41 deaths.
A recently released video depicts the exact moment when a fire ignited at the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, during a New Year's celebration, which tragically led to the deaths of 41 individuals. The footage shows a woman wearing a helmet being carried by another person and holding champagne bottles with pyrotechnic candles. At a critical moment, one of the candle flames inadvertently makes contact with acoustic foam on the ceiling, sparking the fire.
Witnesses in the video appear oblivious to the unfolding disaster, as the party continues with the woman still being carried and festivities ongoing. This incident, which occurred on New Year's Eve transitioning into 2026, has drawn significant media attention and is under investigation by authorities, with the Italian news agency Ansa providing updates on the situation and identifying those involved.
The woman featured in the video has been identified as Cyanne Panine from France, who was reportedly working at the bar. This incident sheds light on the potential dangers of using pyrotechnics in indoor venues, especially during large gatherings, and raises questions about safety protocols that were in place on that night.
