. 41 people lost their lives in that fire and now another kid has passed away 
. It just doesn't seem right that something like this can happen on New Year's Eve, when everyone's supposed to be celebrating life and having fun. I'm still thinking about those families who lost loved ones... it must've been so tough for them 
. Back in the day, I remember a similar incident at a nightclub in LA, but that was like 20 years ago 
. It just shows how quickly things can change and tragedy can strike anytime 
.
so 41 people lost their lives in a fire at a ski resort bar... that's crazy! 
. number of injured was like 100+ 
. investigation says no one's gonna be let off the hook for this 
. total damage from fire and stuff is around $10M 
. swiss gov already offered support to victims' families, but still need more $$$ 
. also, they say fire broke out in just 30 seconds... that's like a whole minute of chaos 
. hope the police can figure out what happened and bring justice to those affected 
. And the investigation not being able to pinpoint the cause yet is super frustrating 
. I guess what this whole thing really teaches us is that no matter how safe we think things are, disaster can strike at any moment 
. It's a tough lesson to learn, but one that can make us appreciate the little things in life and not take anything for granted 
.
anyway, this fire was literally crazy, i heard it was one of the biggest blazes in recent memory, and now they're saying there's more victims? like, are we really gonna find out what happened before anyone else dies? 
need to get to the bottom of this ASAP
