Amazing!
We have news flashes everywhere and the reporter on television broke down while she was informing that SIX PEOPLE have just been found ALIVE under the debris and mountains of snow that devastated the mountain hotel here in Italy more than 36 hours ago 
Miracles still happen after all!
Hopefully there will be updates and even more people will have survived too!
I love good news!
***UPDATE*** The survivors saved are now TEN

Alpine rescue personnel early on Friday continued to dig for survivors under the snow and rubble at the Hotel Rigopiano in the Abruzzo town of Farindola, which was hit by a massive avalanche probably due to Wednesday's earthquakes in central Italy. © ANSA

I was watching an online video only a few minutes ago. I feel sick, my stomach aches, I am claustrophobic and I cannot even imagine what those poor people have been through during those two days. It's good that miracles exist, because Italy (as usually) has showed to the world how bad we are in preventing catastrophes.

@mysdianait YES, we were discussing this stupid new law with my husband yesterday evening. Renzi was really a very bad choice and the name he had in school (Il Bomba) because he was a big liar perfectly sticks to him.

@LadyDuck It does fit so well. Unfortunately I think he is not yet off the scene (he is probably behind the present governement too) and will soon be back with all of his old tricks. Sad that Italian people seem to have such short memories!

@mysdianait I also fear he is not yet off the scene. You are right, Italian people seem never to remember, they complain all the time, they do nothing.

There is but sometimes, sadly, it doesn't make the headlines. Today it did!

@mysdianait good news rarely makes the headlines. I guess only the bad news sells

They are working in extremely difficult conditions, especially as the now is now like concrete and there is so much of it. It seems that the survivors had enough air space underneath the snow. Whether they are fit or injured has not been reported yet but they are so lucky!

Yes there were big delays before any rescuers arrived on the scene. It was very difficult to reach the area and the first rescuers covered the last kilometres on foot with skis as vehicles could not get through until later after the roads had been cleared.

It would have been terrible to have ended it by being buried alive indeed

It is indeed! Absolutely amazing and no doubt later, when they are reunited with their loved ones and over the shock, they will tell us how they got through that long time under the snow.

It is indeed! There is too much bad news even though good things do happen but they never get as much coverage as the bad news does.

Hopefully there will be more survivors found. When people are sensible and keep their heads, they can survive some incredible disasters.
