CRANS-MONTANA: Hundreds marched in silence Sunday to honor the victims of the New Year’s Eve fire at a bar in the Swiss Alpine resort of Crans-Montana, which left 40 dead and many severely injured. Somber mourners, many with reddened eyes, filed silently out of the chapel to organ music after the hourlong Mass at the Chapelle Saint-Christophe in Crans-Montana. Some exchanged hugs, others applauded, before joining the silent march up the hill to Le Constellation bar.

About 40 people are believed to be dead and about 100 injured after a fire broke out at a New Year's Eve celebration at a bar in Switzerland.

Axel Clavier, a 16-year-old from Paris who survived the blaze, described “total chaos” inside the bar.
