The Swiss Bar Fire That Should Have NEVER Happened

Описание: On December 31st, 2025, hundreds of people packed into Le Constellation — a basement bar in the alpine resort town of Crans-Montana, Switzerland — to ring in the new year. The music was loud, champagne was flowing, and phones were recording everything.

But around 1:30AM, the celebration turned into a nightmare.

What started as a bottle-service spectacle — champagne raised above the crowd with sparkling fountain candles — appears to have brought sparks dangerously close to the ceiling. Moments later, the ceiling ignited. The flames spread fast. Smoke dropped. And in the chaos, many people didn’t run immediately… some kept filming, others tried to fight the fire with whatever they could.

By the end of the night, 40 people were dead and 119 were critically injured.

This video breaks down what happened inside Le Constellation, why the fire spread so rapidly, and how the venue’s layout — a crowded underground room with limited escape routes — turned a few seconds of flame into a mass casualty event. We’ll also cover what authorities are investigating now, including questions around ceiling materials, indoor sparklers, capacity, emergency planning, and exits.

And finally, we’ll talk about why this story feels horrifyingly familiar — because we’ve seen this exact “recipe” before: indoor fire as entertainment, flammable soundproofing, smoke, panic, and a deadly bottleneck at the exit.

The fire at Le Constellation should have never happened.
But it did.
And this is why.
