Deadly Fire in Swiss Resort Claims 41 Lives

Crans-Montana, Switzerland - A New Year's Eve fire at Le Constellation bar in the Swiss alpine resort of Crans-Montana claimed the lives of 41 people, with 116 others injured, according to Euronews. The blaze, which occurred in the early hours of January 1, 2026, is believed to have been ignited by sparklers setting off soundproof foam on the ceiling of the crowded bar.

The victims were primarily young people, including teenagers as young as 14, Euronews reported. An 18-year-old who was injured in the fire died on February 1, 2026, raising the death toll to 41.

Prosecutors believe the sparklers, used during New Year's Eve celebrations, ignited the soundproof foam in the basement of the bar. The rapid spread of the fire and the crowded conditions likely contributed to the high number of casualties.

The incident is under investigation, and authorities are working to determine the exact cause of the fire and whether any safety regulations were violated. The focus remains on providing support to the victims and their families during this difficult time.

Chill Out! Bomb Cyclone Freezes Desert, Traps You in Ice Bowl.

According to multiple sources, M83's album "Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts" is a post-rock record reminiscent of Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, showcasing a French twist on the genre with its use of drum machines, analog synths, and compressed guitar to create a liminal and uncanny atmosphere. Before M83 embraced 80s-inspired pop, this album represented a period of mostly instrumental music, drawing inspiration from the repetitive bombast of other bands.
