VIDEO! Miracle of the inferno: Witness reveals youth trapped in Swiss blaze sat down with crucifix in his hand ‘and the fire just avoided him… ‘
A youth trapped inside a burning ski bar in Switzerland survived in what many are calling a miracle. As the fire ripped through the basement club, exits were blocked and there was “no way out.”
According to witness Laetitia Place, her friend couldn’t escape, so “he just sat down and held his cross in his hand.”
Flames were spreading fast, people were panicking, but somehow the fire never reached him. “The fire was all around him,” Place said, yet “the fire just avoided him. The fire just didn’t touch him.” Eventually, he managed to break a window and escape alive.
Place said she could only thank God. “I just want to thank the Lord for saving me,” she said, while also pleading for others. Many of her friends were injured, hospitalized, or still unaccounted for.
The fire broke out around in the basement of Le Constellation, a packed New Year’s Eve venue in the Alpine resort town of Crans-Montana. At least 47 people are believed to have died, with 115 more injured, as the blaze tore through the enclosed space in minutes
