Giampiero Parete, a chef vacationing at the hotel, called his boss when the avalanche struck, and begged for him to mobilize rescue crews because his wife, Adriana, and two children, Ludovica and Gianfilippo, were trapped inside, employer Quintino Marcella told The Associated Press.
"I am alive because I went to get something from my car," Parete, told medical staff.

Just horrible. Couldn't even imagine seeing that happen with my family inside.

Beautiful area too.
You can Google street view drive right past the hotel which sits on the side of a mountain.
I'm surprised it got hit so hard as it is behind a bunch of trees...but then again avalanche I guess.
There is a house directly behind it as well. I wonder if those people are OK ??? I

I thought I heard on the radio that the area has received around 15 feet of snow recently. That is just crazy if it is true.

Heavy snow + strong earthquakes in the mountains is pretty much the worst possible combination. Apparently other towns in the area have been isolated because of avalanches in the last couple of days without power.

Tragic.
My first thought when I saw the link was to wonder why the Colorado hockey team was in Italy..

6 survivors found so far including the Wife and son of the man who called his boss. So sad, hoping for the best but at lease he got part of his family back. I couldn't imaging the survivors guilt of getting something from the car then watching this happen with my family inside
