Even today, as happened yesterday, four drones are flying over the Marmolada glacier , where a huge avalanche of stones and ice overwhelmed the mountaineers who were climbing along the path on Sunday .
The provisional toll is updated to at least 9 victims, two more than yesterday, of which 4 recognized by family members and 5 not identified. There are 7 injured: four hospitalized in Trento, three in Venetian hospitals.
At work, therefore, there are two drones of the Veneto mountain rescue and two others of the firefighters of Trento, who will sift through the area.
Meanwhile, the activities of transporting the technological material necessary for the "sight and hearing" intervention of a selected team of rescuers continue which, together with dog units , could return to the glacier tomorrow 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 and the dust and gravel make it difficult to use drones that do not "see" clearly the remains and equipment scattered on the glacier, for this reason we think about the intervention with selected operators, despite the risk of further collapse.
A situation that is in any case being evaluated, since the intervention is considered very dangerous.
Strong thunderstorms are also expected between today and tomorrow and the hope of the rescuers is that the rain will somehow clean up the surface and allow a better view.
In the meantime, other human remains have been found , which will lead to a reformulation of the number of missing people.
