CANAZEI – Four days after tragedy on the Marmoladaalso this morning, as happened yesterday, four drones they are in flight on the glacier and they scan the scene of the disaster for the search of the missing. Two drones from the Veneto mountain rescue and two more from the Trento fire brigade will sift through the area where the ice landslide overwhelmed the mountaineers who were climbing the normal route on Sunday. In addition to the drones, there are also two operators of the Guardia di Finanza in Glacier Hut.
Shortly after lunchtime, two more bodies were sighted and recovered. They are of two men who were on the list of missing persons and are added to the seven already ascertained of the Marmolada avalanche on Sunday 3 July. In addition to the two mountaineers who will have to be identified, the remains of a woman were also recovered by rescuers in the late morning, but it is not yet clear whether it is a victim already ascertained or to be searched in the list of missing persons.
If the machine does not see, there is the human eye
In the meantime, the activities of transporting the technological material necessary for the “sight and hearing” intervention of a team chosen by are continuing rescuers who, together with canine units, could return to the glacier on Thursday to do some research on the spot: the snow in the lower part of the normal route on which the landslide is ruined is melting. In fact, the dust and the gravel make it difficult to use drones that do not “see” clearly the remains and equipment scattered on the glacier, so we think about the intervention with selected operators, despite the risk of further collapses.
