Swiss mayor apologises for lack of safety checks on bar | ABC NEWS
No safety inspections were carried out since 2019 at the Swiss bar that burst into flames during New Year celebrations, killing 40 people, says the mayor of the ski resort of Crans-Montana.
Most of the victims of the blaze that tore through the Le Constellation bar in the early hours of January 1 were teenagers, and Swiss authorities have been scrambling to find answers as to how the disaster occurred.
