Video: Miracle as survivors are pulled from the snow after avalanche in Italy

TWO young girls were among eight survivors found on Friday in the ruins of an Italian hotel buried by an avalanche two days earlier, police said.


Rescuers are combing through the snow-covered ruins in the search for people thought to have been in the hotel when the avalanche hit it on Wednesday afternoon.

Local media in Italy reported Friday that eight survivors pulled from an avalanche which hit a hotel were recovering from their ordeal.


The ANSA news agency said the first six people found by rescuers included three men, a woman and two children. The remaining two have not yet been identified.
