A devastating fire at a popular ski bar in the Swiss resort of Crans-Montana has claimed 40 lives and left 119 injured, with fresh claims emerging that a potential escape route was habitually locked. The blaze, which erupted in the early hours of New Year's Day, has sparked a criminal investigation into the venue's safety measures.
An employee familiar with the bar has alleged that an emergency exit was always secured, raising serious questions about the tragedy at Le Constellation.
