Initial findings following the tragedy in Switzerland indicate that a flashover occurred in the bar. Local authorities reported this at a press conference this morning. A flashover is a sudden and explosive ignition of gases that have accumulated in a room. "Even for firefighters in protective clothing, it is life-threatening."
Everything started with a fire, followed by an explosion. The authorities don't trust an attack. Everything is known about the fire that mobilized 10 helicopters and 40 ambulances.
The fire that killed 40 people and injured at least 100 people at the Nou Year of the Le Constellation bar, at the Crans-Montana Swiss station, would have been produced after an annual fire opened the ceiling.
