Champagne Bottle Sparklers Caused Deadly Swiss Bar Fire, 40 Dead

  • A New Year's Eve fire at Switzerland's 'Le Constellation' luxury resort bar killed 40 and injured over 100.
  • Investigation reveals fountain candles (sparklers) attached to champagne bottles ignited the bar's ceiling.
  • The fire spread "extremely rapidly" due to "acoustic damping foam" in the ceiling, suspected to be against safety regulations.
  • Chief prosecutor Béatrice Pilloud is probing the incident, including fire extinguishers and exit routes.
  • Bar owners, a French couple, are being questioned and could face arrest if implicated in the investigation.
