00:00Mourners held a vigil at the Swiss ski resort of Kranz, Montana on Thursday, less than 24 hours after around 40 people were killed and 115 injured when a fire ripped through a crowded bar during a New Year's Eve party.
00:16Police said the fire broke as revelers were celebrating in a bar called Le Constellation in the resort in southwestern Switzerland.
00:25Ilan Ashour, a 26-year-old restaurant worker, said he drove to the venue when he heard the fire had broken out, and he found his best friend, who ended up dying in his arms.
00:37I wasn't there, I had friends who came, who called me.
00:42So I came in the car, and from there everyone was screaming, everyone was screaming, everyone was crying.
00:49They were replaced from The Constellation in 1900, and it was crazy, it was a horror film.
00:56I've never seen it in my life.
00:59And then I lost my best friend who was in my arms.
01:03We tried to re-animize it.
01:05There were police officers, there were everyone everywhere.
01:09It was crazy.
01:11I didn't do that to anyone.
01:13It was crazy.
01:14Like I said to everyone, it's now that we need to be together.
01:19We need to love everyone.
01:20It's important.
01:21The cause of the blaze, which was initially reported as an explosion, remained unclear,
01:27but authorities said the fire appeared to be an accident rather than an attack.
01:31Hundreds of people paid their respects to the victims at the top of the road in front of the scene on Thursday evening.
01:38Dozens left flowers and candles on a makeshift altar in front of the police cordon as a large crowd stood in silence in the frosty night.
01:47Dozens left flowers and candles on the lights.
01:49Dozens left flowers first and trees.
01:50Dozens left flowers and candles on the floor today?
01:51Dozens from the interior meet theopia bearing the hysterical
01:53air bury the vicar和identally and candles on the��라.
