According to initial investigations, she was not a customer, but a young waitress working at Le Constellation bar. Amid pounding music and flashing lights, she appeared wearing a helmet, holding a bottle topped with a lit flare — a so-called ritual meant to hype up the party. But in just a few seconds, that moment of celebration turned into an irreversible disaster.

Witnesses recall that when the flare was ignited, sparks sprayed violently, flames shot upward and struck the soundproof panels on the ceiling. The fire erupted instantly, like an explosion, while thick black smoke poured down. The music died. Laughter turned into screams of panic as people shoved and stumbled in suffocating darkness. In a matter of moments, the packed nightclub became a deadly fire trap, where many never even understood what was happening.

Now, “the girl in the helmet” stands at the center of the investigation — not only because she lit the flare, but because of the chilling questions that follow: Who allowed it? Why was such a dangerous ritual still taking place? And what really happened in the final minutes before the flames swallowed everything?
