Families are pleading for information after a fire at a ski resort bar. Their teenage children, some as young as 15, are missing and feared to have been at the venue.
The fire broke out late Thursday night at the popular "Grizzly Lodge" bar in the Alpine resort of St. Moritz. Emergency services extinguished the blaze, but the aftermath revealed several people unaccounted for.
Authorities confirm the missing are all teenagers. Rescue teams are searching the damaged building. Police have not yet released the number of missing or possible casualties.
"We are living a nightmare," said one parent in a public appeal. "We just need to know if our child is safe." Families are gathering at a local hotel, awaiting any news from investigators.
The cause of the fire is unknown. An official investigation has begun.
