Upon waking up this morning, Bambi took the time to read the news, looking for cute news such as the first Canadian newborn of 2026 or, any update about Lebanon or what is unfolding in Iran or other hot places of the world.
Instead of the more expected news, she was shocked and deeply saddened to read the headlines in La Presse (https://tinyurl.com/yypjm97p), about an accidental disaster at a bar of a Swiss ski resort.
A horrible fire in the Le Constellation bar in Crans-Montana afflicted a very large number of teenagers, possibly also adult tourists, and the bar’s staff in the most cruel and absurd ways.
Indeed, about 40 people were killed by the fire. Some are still missing and around 115 others are critically injured. They are being treated in different hospitals across Switzerland and even in France (https://tinyurl.com/bdb2c9p9).
May God know how to soothe the nervous system of the traumatized survivors, help heal the injured victims, empower the grieving families and friends, and comfort all the loved ones of those missing and injured. Lots of courage to everyone, including the first responders, good Samaritans (i.e., some teenagers), local community, country, continent, and/or citizens from other places around the world.
There are no words possible in the face of such tragedy. Thankfully, there is Mr. Gagon’s music of “Chanson sans mots” [A Song Without Lyrics] to speak when words fail us. May each note of his wordless song send soothing vibes of love and solidarity across ocean and land… all the way to the small Crans-Montana municipality.
