Le Constellation bar

Le Constellation bar is a popular ski resort bar in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, that was the site of one of the country's worst disasters. The bar was packed with young revelers on New Year's Eve when a fire broke out, killing at least 40 people and injuring many others. Recent developments include the death of an 18-year-old Swiss national who succumbed to injuries from the fire, bringing the death toll to 41.
