On New Year’s Eve in Crans-Montana, 24-year-old waitress Cyane Panine, known as ‘la Fille au Casque’, tragically died in a fire at La Constellation bar, which left 40 dead and 116 injured. An investigation revealed the fire likely started from the bar’s flammable acoustic foam, with owners Jacques and Jessica Moretti facing charges of manslaughter due to safety breaches. Panine was instructed to create a festive atmosphere while wearing a crash helmet, which hindered her awareness of the unfolding disaster. Her parents lamented that a locked exit door may have worsened the tragedy, emphasizing the need for safety in such venues.
