Slavina nell’albergo Rigopiano a Farindola, c’erano 30 persone, tra cui tanti bimbi. Capo soccorso alpino: ”ci sono tanti morti”

Tragedia all’hotel ‘Rigopiano’ a Farindola, sul Gran Sasso, travolto ieri da una slavina mentre ospitava almeno 22 persone più il personale. E’ stata estratta la prima vittima ma “ci sono tanti morti”, secondo quanto ha riferito all’ANSA il capo del Soccorso alpino abruzzese Antonio Crocetta, che da ieri sera si è messo in marcia con gli sci insieme agli altri per raggiungere l’albergo. La slavina si è staccata dalla montagna molto probabilmente a causa delle scosse di terremoto di ieri mattina.

“La valanga è immensa”, confermano i soccorritori.  Il personale dell’albergo e i clienti sarebbero dunque da quasi 24 ore sotto la neve e le macerie. Dentro l’albergo risultano 30 dispersi. Le prime immagini dell’interno dell’hotel le ha trasmesse Skytg24: si vedono gli spazi comuni distrutti e coperti da cumoli di neve, rami di alberi e macerie.
