Crans Montana: Bar Owner's Wife Seen Fleeing with Cash During Fire

Following the tragedy in Crans Montana, Switzerland, where 40 people died in a bar fire, allegations have surfaced regarding the behavior of the owners. Reports indicate that the owner's wife was seen fleeing the bar while carrying the cash register with the day's earnings. The owners were released, sparking outrage. The 40-year-old wife is accused of ignoring patrons as flames engulfed the bar and leaving with the revenue. Investigations are examining whether the soundproofing material was safe and if fire safety measures were adequate, as former employees report locked fire extinguishers and often-blocked emergency exits. The owners deny the allegations and state they are devastated.
