I... don't know how to feel... I don't know how far the news got, but here in Switzerland, in an underground bar on New Year's Eve, a fire broke out, resulting in 40 dead and even more severely injured.
it is a shitshow, the people having heard that the inspections have taken not place in there for like 5 years, that they let young people in and that the city is trying to take "partie civil" idk how to translate it but basically in short lines a combo of "WE are hurting more then you I promise" and "this way I can't be sued" stuff some people explained to me.
Anyhow... I didn't know the guy at all, never even heard of him in a school of over 1000 students and not counting staff, but still... this guy two years lower than me, at least two years younger if not more, was there and is part of the 40... I do not actually feel sad, but don't take that as me being the worst person alive. I have empathy for him and his family, but I didn't know him... yet the fact he was so young and actually so close to my "life circle" idk how to say it... It is an odd feeling, knowing him and someone my boss knew are just gone...
I am lucky not to know them, or I wouldn't be able to be normal and sleep without trouble. It's just weird in this odd way that there's a hole in a place you've never known and never met that you'll remember because it is not there.
I am just ranting here because I have had enough of always talking about it at work, since it is a huge tragedy for us in this country. I suppose I just wanted to leave something behind for those who left us on New Year's Eve due to some unfortunate event.
Probably won't affect whatever I upload tho, don't worry about that but yeah... Felt the need to at least remember these strangers somewhere.
Rest in peace, the boy I never knew, and all the other 39 of you.
