Sparklers on champagne bottles likely cause of deadly Swiss bar fire
- DustinEchoes 10mo agoIt’s tragic how similar this was to the Station fire in 2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_nightclub_fire#Fire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Station_nightclub_fire#Fir... - sparklers light acoustic foam on fire - no one takes it seriously at first - fire quickly grows and people start moving towards the exit. - not enough exits + too many people + panic results in a crowd crush at the entryway - bystanders try pulling people out of the crush but aren’t successful - fire explodes in size and kills everyone trapped inside.
