Outrage and Calls for Answers After 40 Victims Identified in Crans Montana Fire

Pressure is mounting for answers regarding the cause of the fire at a bar in Crans Montana, Switzerland, where 40 people, mostly teenagers, lost their lives. Authorities are investigating the couple who own the bar for manslaughter, but they have not been arrested so far. The fire appears to have been caused by fireworks that ignited the ceiling. There is outrage that the owners remain free and questions about safety checks, age limits, and the materials used in the construction of the bar. Authorities have launched a thorough investigation to determine responsibility and prevent similar tragedies in the future.
