The avalanche has hit the structure, which has moved 10 meters. No one responds to the call of the rescuers. Pulled from the rubble, three bodies. The survivor: “There we are my children.” According to the last hypothesis, in the hotel there were 34 persons. Curcio: “Certainly there is the possibility of collapse more” in hotel Rigopiano Farindola “should be put in safety and then proceed to”

Night of research in the light of the light beam, which make it even more spooky scenario. It is now clear that there are very few hopes to find in life someone of the departed, after hours there is no signal from the Hotel Rigopiano buried by the avalanche Wednesday.
You dig with tenacity
You dig, with caution and perseverance, but so far no sign of life rose to the surface. Even if it remains at three at the moment, the official number of victims. And it remains uncertain, which is not formalized, the number of scattered between employees and customers, a number that, however, would be unfortunately, between 25 and 30.
it was a landslide and devastating, that he almost buried a large part of the structure, becoming also the road inside of the various environments that constituted it, and then wiped out what was on his road, as he had already done with a wide front of the trees that was in the front of the hotel. Indeed, this mass of trunks, and it was the more that has brought destruction and death, because the shock wave was even stronger.
An event-killer triggered probably by the 4 earthquakes of magnitudes between 5.1 and 5.4 in the morning of Wednesday, with its epicenter in the area of l’aquila, but strongly 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.
An avalanche that has also resulted in a sort of ‘translation’ of the building, that is to say it has moved ten meters forward, and it is not excluded that some of the missing may have been swept up and dragged out from the perimeter of the building. Not surprisingly, the research fire brigade with teams specialized in this type of activity and also those carried out by the members of the alpine and speleological Rescue also relate to the area foreign to the hotel, that is, the front slope of the avalanche the snow.
Three bodies recovered, one-fourth identified
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’.
guests were ready to leave. The public Prosecutor opens an inquiry
According to the reconstructions, the hotel’s guests Wednesday 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. The 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.
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
The sms from the owner: “our Customers frightened by the earthquake”
“the customers and the people present inside the hotel, they were scared, for the strong shock of the earthquake and not so much for the weather and for the snow. Of course, a landslide was unimaginable,” says the BEND, a friend of Roberto Del Rosso, the owner of the hotel Rigopiano, with which on a Wednesday afternoon, around 15, has exchanged messages. The owner has told to the acquaintance of the fears of the users for the strong shock, and the fact that they were all ready to leave, he was waiting only for the turbine. Also Red is among the missing.
