Why Switzerland’s Deadly Flashover Fire Spread Fast

In the early hours of New Year’s Day 2026, a celebration in Crans-Montana turned into a fight for survival.

In this video, we break down the forensic timeline of the Crans-Montana fire. We analyze the science of the flashover phenomenon, the role of interior materials in fire acceleration, and the harrowing accounts from survivors who made it out just in time.
