Marmolada, 7 dead, 8 injured, and 14 officially missing. Draghi: "A drama that is certainly unpredictable, but certainly depends on the deterioration of the environment and the climate situation.
“The numbers of this tragedy say that at the moment we have 7 deceased, of which 3 identified, we have 8 injured of which 2 in delicate conditions, we have 14 people that we define as claimed and reported, people for whom the relatives have come forward, of these 4 are of foreign origin. There are still 4 cars of which we have no news and they are all foreign cars”. Thus the president of the province of Trento, Maurizio Fugatti, from Canazei.
According to what has been learned, the recovery of the missing people on the side of the Marmolada will be very difficult, at least for the remains in the highest part of the road where the landslide arrived. This is because, it has been learned, it appears that some of the missing people have fallen into the crevasses that are found along the 'normal'.
However, it should be easier to recover the victims who, being in the lower part, were submerged by ice and debris: with the melting of the snow and with the help of excavators, it will be possible to proceed with a recovery attempt.
