Rigopiano, 29 dead and 11 survivors. The fire brigade: “rescue Operations are among the most complex ever managed” – Il fatto Quotidiano

The fire around 23 on Wednesday 25 January they extract the last two bodies from the rubble ofhotel Rigopiano. They are, therefore, 29 to the victims of the avalanche Wednesday, January 19, has overwhelmed the hotel in the province of Pescara, 11 the survivors. There are more dispersed under the tangle of debris, snow, and tree trunks, on the basis of the official list provided to the rescuers, which included 28 guests, of which 4 children all of which were extracted alive, and the 12 employees of the hotel. An exact week from the avalanche, then terminate the research work on the part of the approximately 200 men engaged in the place of the Fire Brigade, Guardia di Finanza, the Army, the Police, mountain Rescue 118.

Eleven survivors, including four children
at The end between 20 and 21 January will be nine people lives, to begin from the other two children: Edoardo Di Carlo (watch the video of his rescue) and Samuel Michelangelo. Five adults: Adriana Vranceanu, Francesca Bronzes, Vincenzo Strong, Giorgia Galassi and Giampaolo Matrons. After those two days of euphoria, the fire brigade began to have his misgivings: around the kitchen and a few rooms were still intact, but there was no one. Completed audits in the kitchens, the Use, the specialists of the searches among the rubble, they passed the bar. A wide area between the fireplace room, where there were some of the survivors, and the recreational area, where they are extracted from living three children. But there the situation was much worse: a single tangle of rubb le and snow. Someone else, however, have recovered in the area of rooms:: four plans have come down completely and crushed on one another. And the last two, a man and a woman, they found you always there: in the area between the bar and the hall. All of the guests and the employees of the hotel were waiting for the arrival of the snow that would have to take them away. But the medium has never seen, and in its place came the avalanche.

the Avalanche that claimed the lives of 9 women and 12 men: Rose Barbara Nobilio and her husband Piero of Peter, Nadia Acconciamessa and her husband Sebastian of Carlo (the mother and the father of little Edward), the hotel’s beautician Linda Salzetta, Paola Tommasini, Ilaria De Biase, Luana Biferi, Marco Tanda and girlfriend Jessica Tinari, Sarah Angelozzi, Marinella Colangeli, the maitre of the hotel Alessandro Giancaterino, the waiter, Gabriele D’angelo, Stefano Feniello, Marco Vagnarelli, the administrator of the hotel, Roberto The Red, the receptionist Alessandro Riccetti, the refugee senegal Faye Dame, Claudio Baldini, Emanuele Bonifazi. The last 8 bodies to identify are in the morgue of the hospital of Pescara, where the relatives are waiting to poterseli return home at last.

"The rescue operations are among the most complex ever handled"
The rescue operations at hotel Rigopiano were "one of the most complex we have ever managed": a situation with "a collapse of a 4-storey building under an avalanche in the scenario of a earthquake, with the inability to reach both by land and by air, and with communications difficult," says the director of emergencies of fire Brigade, Giuseppe Romano. "The firefighters, he said, have worked for 25, 26 hours, talking with people and making him see the light of the torch, filling in holes 30 cm. I can’t tell you what it means." And the helicopters of the State bodies "have flown all of the times that was possible and even when it was not possible, to search for a gap, and see if you could fly". Then there is another point that the Roman said with pride: "The action of finding survivors has been designed and built, through planning maps. He has acted in a certain direction, have been achieved in the areas mentioned and have been found the people there where we thought they were". For the men of the mountain Rescue "it was an extraordinary event, which has no precedent in recent history: you are twisted – says Maurizio Dellantonio – a series of extraordinary factors. And the response of the system of Civil Protection has been equally extraordinary, has worked in synergy and you have continued trying to do everything possible, putting all the technologies that every body he had."

The only lens remained who was digging relentlessly for days, was to first find all the bodies buried under the hotel, to permanently close the counts of the dead and return the bodies to the families. It was clear since a couple of days in the hope of finding someone still alive was almost non-existent. Wednesday were extracted, and the last 9 victims, six women and three men were found all in a single environment, that of which a little more than a week ago, the bar of the hotel. In that area the rescuers had arrived two days ago, passing by the kitchens. Those kitchens that had restored hope to all, when the 20 January began to be extracted, the first people incredibly still alive. There, sheltered under a slab, it has managed to survive the whole Wall, his wife Adriana and children Gianfilippo and Ludovica, are reunited to the father Giampiero, the one who had given the alarm.

The investigation by the public Prosecutor of Pescara
Finished the work of the rescuers, continue to the Procura di Pescara. The prosecutor Cristina Tedeschini has provided Wednesday, the first clarification over the results of the autopsy, on the delay with which they started the rescue, and on the lookout avalanches. "The first six cases that were acquired have the dynamics of the death is different of the other: crushing immediate or competition crushing hypothermia and asphyxia, we do not have cases of exclusive hypothermia," he replied to those who pressed on, instead of this latter hypothesis. On the issue of the delay in the relief, the magistrate reiterated that according to the prosecution the misunderstandings, they did accumulate a delay of about an hour and a half (2 and a half hours, ac cording to the reconstructions of the press): "calls recorded have been scanned, I’ve heard, and it seems evident to me that there have been misunderstandings related to the requests for help launched by Giampiero Wall and Quintino Marcella on the 18th of January". "On the basis of the information in my possession, the hotel was in possession of all the permissions," he continued Tedeschini, thus clarifying another important aspect of the story. The public prosecutor of Pescara already on the 23rd of January, had in fact reiterated that the investigation would concern the "structure, avalanche, traffic and communications".
