Authorities confirm: everything indicates that the fire was caused by fireworks on champagne bottles

The terrible fire on New Year’s Eve in a bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana appears to have been caused by fireworks attached to champagne bottles. Prosecutor Beatrice Pilloud confirmed this during a press conference on Friday afternoon. Dramatic photos and videos taken in the bar already pointed in that direction. In an instant, revelry turned into an inferno as the ceiling caught fire.
