Several groups reported neutrino events, a few hours before the onset of the optical signal of the supernova 1987A in LMC. The authors show that the assumption that the the Mont Blanc (or Baksan) observation is due to the formation of a neutron star leads to excessive energy requirements. If confirmed, these two detections would invalidate any of the presently proposed explanations for the SN 1987A event. The Kamioka and IMB observations, on the other hand, match perfectly the standard theory and it is suggested that they were the tracers of the neutron star formation. They can then be used to constrain the number of neutrino flavours to be less than four.
