Two days after the avalanche that struck the hotel Rigopiano Farindola are ten of the survivors. The men of the relief to have them identified in the area of the kitchens under the slab. In the evening, the fire department has pulled alive three children, in addition to his wife and son Giampiero Wall, the first survivor of the avalanche.
Among the children saved, there is Edoardo di Carlo of ten years and the other the daughter of the Wall, Ludovica six. The girl’s mother, Adriana, had told the rescuers: “Go to my daughter’s in the next room”. The woman and the little Gianfilippo were brought to the hospital of Pescara, where they were reunited with Giampiero Wall. “We thought more, we hoped for more,” said the lady Adriana for the rescuers. The first request that has made the small was: “I Want my biscuits”. The last child extracted alive, Samuel, 7 years, the son of Domenico Di Michelangelo, 41 years old, Chieti, policeman in the service of Osimo (Ancona) and Marina Serraiocco, 37 years old, Peoples.
The three children were transported to the hospital of Pescara helicopter departed from the Pens and are in fair condition. “What happened? How much time has passed? I was playing pool”: these are the first words spoken by the little Edoardo Carlo while on a stretcher, and he spoke to the rescuers. He told the marshal of the Guardia di Finanza, Lorenzo Gagliardi, who has participated in the rescue mission, during an interview to the tv programme the Fourth degree.
In the evening, the civil Protection has made it known to family and chroniclers, the names of the five people still to be saved: this is Vincent Strong, Giorgia Galassi, Francesca Bronzes, Giampaolo Matrons and Sebastian Di Carlo.
The reactions of the first saved were a mix of disbelief and joy. “As soon as they saw us they were very happy and were not able to speak. From the eyes you could tell that they were upset positively to having seen,” he told the vice brigadier of the alpine rescue of the Guardia di finanza, Marco Bini. According to doctors, the heavy clothing and being in closed environments are the conditions that have allowed the survivors to not cool down too much and hold on for two days. During the press conference of health care workers, family members of the missing, evidently shocked by this tragedy, have challenged screaming: “We stayed 50 hours without any information, shame on you!”.
rescuers are in contact with the people still under the rubble. “With people still to be recovered,” explains Luke Dear, the head of communications in emergency fire service – we are in voice contact. You are inside a compartment, not easy to achieve”. The group is located in the recreational area of the hotel, where there were the bar and the billiards room. Firefighters are using sophisticated instruments that can locate the cell-dispersed with a high level of accuracy.
The first contact with the group there it was a little after 11, thanks to the dogs that have them are identified. From the outside, in fact, felt items: the structure has protected them, but you cannot communicate with the outside world, also because of the snow absorbs the sounds. “It was beautiful, they did not believe their eyes, and we embraced it,” she told the rescuer who, however, warns: “Most of the time you can’t go forward because there is a risk that parts of the structure are collapsing.” And with rising temperatures increases the risk of new landslides, a particularly high risk in the area, explained Bini – back to the hotel that remains very dangerous.”
To help rescuers in the search-there is a maintainer of the hotel, Fabio Salzetta, he also survived, who is leading the fire department in the areas of the hotel, where they were customers prior to the avalanche, in order to accelerate relief operations.
“This recovery of the survivors, gives us more hope,” said Titti Postiglione, head of emergencies and civil Protection during the point and print in Rieti. “We will be quiet when they are all adequately cared for as the first people already rescued,” explained Postiglione. “Then we will understand if this is an isolated episode or series of episodes, and this will lead rescue operations. The hopes we have always had, even if in this type of operation will fade as time goes by”.
yesterday, we dig into the pile of snow and rubble that was the hotel Rigopiano Farindola, in a race against time to save the survivors. There has been a respite in the snowfall, but the temperatures climb above freezing have resulted in a reduction of the snow making it more difficult operations. At the moment there are two victims identified: Alexander Giancaterino and Gabriele D’angelo, both waiters at the hotel. On the bodies will be performed the autopsy. Still remains uncertain of the number of scattered between employees and customers.
“Never seen anything like it”. “Here we unite two different scenarios: the avalanche, which deal with a natural disaster like a mini earthquake. I have never seen anything like this,” said the spokesman for the alpine Rescue Walter Milan. Then explain the situation at altitude: “At work there are more than sixty people, among the various institutions. Will the new vehicles and with the helicopters bring the teams”. In the evening, has been reopened, but only to the means of relief, the road that connects Faridabad to hotel.
the destruction of The hotel. has been an avalanche of devastating, that he has buried a large part of the structure, becoming also the road inside of the various environments, and then wiped out what was on his road, as he had done with a wide front of the trees that was in the front of the hotel. Indeed, this mass of trunks, has worsened the situaizone, making the shock wave is still stronger. A event killer triggered probably by the 4 earthquakes of magnitude over 5 of the day Wednesday, felt on this side of the region of abruzzo, where the avalanche risk was already classified as a 4 (on a scale of 5) because of the great contributions of snow for several days at a time. The avalanche has caused the displacement of about ten meters forward of the building and is not excluded that some of the missing may have been swept up and dragged out from the perimeter of the building. Therefore, the research also cover the area outside the hotel, that is, the front slope of the avalanche the snow.
Relief to the limits of the possible. “Using an expression that is a bit improper: to Rigopiano, there was an implosion to the inside – has explained yesterday the head of the civil Protection Fabrizio Curcio – the intervention of The hotel Rigopiano is the limits of the possible,” he added, also highlighting the precarious security in which to operate the rescuers – We have spoken with all the operators on the territory and the idea is to support those who are working on the place. It is a scenario that is critical.”
The wait of the family members. Is in the town of Penne, in the province of Pescara, which it consumes in the meantime, the anguish of the relatives of the guests and employees of the hotel Rigopiano. With them are the volunteers of the association ‘Psychologists for the peoples is to bring assistance to individuals, families, groups and communities affected by calamities, disasters, severe accidents, as well as for the sudden disappearance of family members.
Investigations. On the matter the pm of Pescara Andrea Papalia, with the deputy attorney Cristina Tedeschini, has opened an investigation for manslaughter. Very probably, as soon as the operations research people will be completed, the structure will be placed under seizure. “Our duty is to provide a reconstruction that is as accurate as possible,” said Tedeschini. “We must ask ourselves if those people were to be there when it happened, the avalanche? That hotel, in that historical moment, was supposed to be open? That structure could stay there? If the people at some point wanted to go away, what has prevented this happening? And more in general: what happened is, it was determined by human behaviours reprehensible, type omissions, reckless or imperito?”. Then there is the issue of delays in the recovery: “it’s an important topic, that will be discussed”.
