One of Switzerland's worst tragedies left about 40 people dead after a fire in an Alpine resort bar
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Axel Clavier felt like he was suffocating inside the Swiss Alpine bar where moments before he'd been ringing in the new year with friends and dozens of other revelers. The 16-year-old from Paris escaped the inferno, which broke out after midnight Thursday, by forcing a window open with a table. But about 40 other partygoers died, including one of Clavier's friends, falling victim to one of the worst tragedies in Switzerland's history."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across issues like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. The outlet emphasizes investigating topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word', and rejects paywalls so journalism remains accessible, funded by those who can afford it. A New Year’s Eve inferno at Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana killed about 40 people and injured roughly 115, many seriously. A 16-year-old survivor, Axel Clavier, escaped by forcing open a window; several friends remained missing. Authorities are identifying victims and investigating the fire’s cause.
