it is a race against time, one of the rescue teams that are working at the Hotel Rigopiano Farindola, Pescara. On-the-spot came in the night teams of skiing, after six hours of walking. A group of rescuers of the fire brigade came down with the helicopter departed from the valley. The rescuers report that the hotel is completely submerged by the snow, and just today, around noon, the turbine has opened the way for the emergency vehicles. The public prosecutor of Pescara has, meanwhile, opened an investigation for manslaughter.

The victims and the survivor
the Other two bodies, and after that recovered this morning, were pulled from the rubble of the hotel Rigopiano. It is learned from sources of the Carabinieri, according to which another person would have been identified but not yet recovered. At the moment there are no official confirmations. Meanwhile, one of the two survivors, said: “My wife had a headache and was in need of a medicine that was in the car. Then I came out from the hotel and I went in the car. As I returned to the hotel, I heard noises and squeaks and I saw the mountain fall on the building. He swept me, but partially. I have seen a great part of the hotel covered with snow”. This is the testimony of Giampiero Wall, which is entrusted to the employer Quintino Marcella, the first to receive the help request. “I tried to get inside,” says the Wall – but I almost get trapped; then I’m clinging to a branch and I ma naged to get back to the car. Then I met the maintainer of the hotel and together we raised the alarm. From the inside of the hotel I have not heard any noise or movement.”

And get the medical bulletin of the Wall to be part of the primary Resuscitation of the hospital of Pescara: “Had arrived, drowsy from hypothermia. Now he has reached the normal temperature, the feed to the mouth. He is well and is out of danger. To me, it has asked nothing of his wife and children. It is relatively quiet and we settled into a reserved part of the department, with the parents and assisted by psychologists”.

The family dispersed
There is also a family of three people of Osimo between the dispersed of Hotel Rigopiano: the mother is a merchant, the husband, a policeman, with their child of 7 years. This was confirmed by the mayor of Osimo and Simon Schwarz. Among the missing there is also a pair of the marche, Castignano (Ascoli Piceno).

The budget
Would be 35 people present inside the Hotel Rigopiano. “The people registered with the Police formally are less, or 22 guests, and seven employees,” explains the undersecretary of the regional delegation of the civil Protection, Mario Mazzocca, from the collection housed in the palazzetto dello sport Pens. However, it is likely that there were of the guests and therefore the number should be this”. The rescuers, entering the hotel, they filmed a short video, showing the chaos and destruction caused by the snow. From the first pictures you’ll see staircases impassable, a lounge (show) invaded from the rubble, furnishings overwhelmed. According to a witness, the local reservoirs from the rubble you would find on the floor -1, i.e. the one at the base of the building, which gave the outdoor swimming pool. This would indicate that the entire hotel was destroyed. The hypothesis that seems compatible with what is reported from the alpine rescue of the guardia di finanza, according to which the highest part of the hotel would have been wiped out completely by the snow.

“they Had packed and were ready to go away: were waiting for the snow cat”
“Giampiero and all the other hotel guests had paid and they had reached the hall, ready to go again as soon as he would arrive snowplow. He had been told that would come at 15, but the arrival has been postponed to 19. They have already prepared the bags, all the customers wanted to go away”. So Quintino Marcella, restaurateur and employer of Giampiero Wall, a survivor of the avalanche on the hotel Rigopiano.

Among the missing are a pair of youth marches in the holiday
There is also a pair of Castignano (Ascoli Piceno) between the people dispersed. These are two young people who were on holiday. To give a confirmation of the news and’ the mayor of Castignano Fabio Polini. “I knew last night that none of the two, unfortunately, responds to telephone calls of members of the family”.

The president of the province of Pescara, the hotel has moved 10 metres
“The structure has been taken in full by the avalanche, so much so that it is moved ten metres!”. The mayor of Farindola, Hilary Lacchetta, always on the Facebook, writes “the avalanche is large and has involved the whole hotel. The zone remains dangerous for any detachments”.

Sms to rescuers, “help Help, we are dying of cold’
“help Help we’re dying of cold.” And’ the content of a text message of the two customers (a couple) of the Hotel Rigopiano sent to the rescuers. The column of the rescuers was hampered by other landslides that have dragged on the road trees and stones that must be removed before the turbine can pass.

text two customers for the rescuers: here rubble
outside of the Hotel Rigopiano last night there were two people who had contact with both the 118 and with the rescuers. One of these would have sent a text message to a rescuer before telling him about his condition then talking about the rubble. Whatsapp another customer would have confirmed to the operational room 118 of Pescara within the structure, injured, there were people trapped.
