There were 34 people in the Hotel Rigopiano Farindola, the structure, almost entirely swept away by an avalanche. The supports Mario Mazzocca, the secretary of Civil Protection of the Region of Abruzzo, which explains that registered guests had 22 members of staff, 8, and 4 people visiting but not “resident”. The missing should be 28, since they were recovered the bodies of three victims and a fourth would have been discovered but not yet extracted from the rubble and two other people were rescued. Among the missing, the guests of the hotel, a family of Osimo, with a child, a pair of Castignano (Ascoli Piceno), a 25/year old of Macerata with the girlfriend and a terni of 33 years.
Curcio: “There is the possibility of collapse more”
The head of civil Protection, Fabrizio Curcio-to-Door-to-door on Bbc1, said: “Certainly there is the possibility of collapse more” in hotel Rigopiano Farindola “should be put in safety and then proceed.”
doomsday Scenario
“There are tons of snow, uprooted trees and debris – reported on the fire department – that have flooded the area where the hotel”. “There are mattresses dragged hundreds of yards from what was the structure,” said Luca Cari, the head of communications in emergency and fire brigade. The geologist Gian Gabriele Ori, the university Gabriele d’annunzio of Chieti, speaks of a huge ‘casting debris’ that has engulfed the hotel. ‘It is a rare phenomenon that has gained strength and speed, considerable under the pressure of the snow, by the weakness of the soil. The earthquake triggered it, like a fuse’. According to preliminary reports, the hotel’s guests yesterday at the end of the morning they had reached the hall, ready to go again as soon as I had arrived the snow, waiting for the 15.00, but the arrival has been postponed to 19: 00 and at that point it falls the avalanche. T he alarm was given immediately after via Whatsapp from one of the survivors: ‘hotel submerged by the snow’. To reach the resort four-star hotel in Farindola, province of Pescara, at an altitude of 1,200 metres, the Alpine Rescue, the first to arrive at four in the morning, he had to use skis. Instead, it is impossible to proceed until late in the morning, for the means that they found the road blocked by other avalanches and fallen trees. The Hotel Rigopiano has been completely submerged by the snow and the trees dragged by the avalanche. The mass of snow and debris has invested in full the structure from the mount, leaving exposed only a small part towards the valley, from where they went to the rescue. The public prosecutor of Pescara opened an investigation for manslaughter.
survivor
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 managed 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.” Meanwhile, the medical bulletin of the Wall to be part of the primary Resuscitation of the hospital of Pescara: “Had arrived, drowsy from hyp othermia. 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. 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 is 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 mayor
“the scenery Here is apocalyptic,” said the mayor of Farindola, Hilary Lacchetta – the country is in a state of shock, we are in pieces. It’s over Rigopiano, is over Farindola”. Then, he added, that the children present at the Hotel were 4 and that “the hopes of
find people in life are reduced by the hour. At this moment, I’m only embrace the family of the missing”.
The first images of the interior of the hotel
The ruins
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.
rescuers are digging in to enter the hotel
“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.
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.
