Switzerland plans a national day of mourning on Friday for the people killed in a bar fire in the Swiss mountain resort of Crans-Montana, notes Euro News, but a group of skiers decided to send a message of their own beforehand. Video—see it here—shows dozens of skiers forming a giant heart on the Crans-Montana slopes, per the BBC. The fire killed 40 people, most of them teens or young adults. (As it turns out, the bar hadn't had a safety inspection since 2019.)
