so briefly, so powdery penny and kristof have to be extremely careful. a slab of snow could break off at any time on the steep slopes and sweeps away. at the top of the piece, they placed the 2 and a half kilogram plastic explosive on a wooden frame. it's situated one and a half meters above the fresh snow covered to maximize the impact of the explosion . once the fuse is burning, they have to evacuate as quickly as possible. i, i just by get nobody on the slides. guy was in about one and a half minutes. there will be an explosion if i wanted to let us do. she told me that there was no cavalry. is
10:21 am
the shipper that was it. of the beast paste is clear what secures are. keep moving . ah, the controlled avalanche, they trick it has reduced the risk of a more serious one. the peace is now safe. meanwhile emmanuel and full of gung, a heart at work further up the slopes but from a to me as the truthful were about to trigger an explosion on the central slope. that's always high risk because it's pretty steep and it's where the kids always play. but today the dense snow flurries are making it difficult to see again, but the lift that soon and the glacier area. you can only get your bearings by looking for the ski lifts. otherwise it's just a wall of white. it's snowing and it's windy. i had been but i can just about make out the ski lift station,
10:22 am
so that tells me where i am doing and i caught him as you bit of at the indian. he gets off. i'll go prepare the explosives. duncan once detonated the slope is secured. jeff, this is one of the most critical slips in the whole sky area. they have the play area for children below my name. lloyds fills mondays with the vin meats when the wind blows over the rocks, either from the north where it's settled on this and the snow drifts can be dangerous on business. my primary objective is making sure the slopes are safe. a list of these to see case martha has attached the explosive to a line. that way he can precisely position the explosive on the slope and determine exactly where it will go off. no, ma'am. this allowed him got the
10:23 am
1st explosive is in position kind of out in about one and a half minutes. it will detonate the explosion can be felt 50 meters away. nice one allergic goods. the explosion trigger, a controlled average. the service team will clear away the masses of snow and then open the slugs and the play area to the public. in austria alone, they were more than 100 avalanche accidents in 2021. 14 people were killed and backed lie. i shall research his avalanches at the department for natural has it's in spoke. today he's in the shoe by valley investigating the destructive forces of avalanches at hi mark clinton on for him. pest failed. this is our test field. so this protective structure here is the so called snow catcher. no catcher. there's
10:24 am
a power lunches coming this way. we'll end up here now. you know, fish on levine and valve clocked out at home with her mom. they stored on the light comes from up there, hurtled down home, have all the, and hits the snow catcher. embodied fits of the structure with several senses that recalled the impact of the avalon shaft. alf tyson, maybe levina, metabolic and are yet, oh oh, this is the perfect testing ground for the reset. every year. huge masses of snow tumble more than 700 meters down the mountain thought directly into the safety net . oh, i love you now. i've been famous up on one of our sensors was destroyed and i have a lunch. we've replaced it and i want to test it today to make sure it provides accurate values. fisher selling the sal her to correct the, let me put the snow catches till the prototype. numerous senses are installed along its supports and steel cables. when an avalanche hits the censors provide important
10:25 am
data and insights into how people can best be protected. adult reside from gasket, beautiful mon, i. so we're in the test area and have 2 goals. albert, we want to see how the structure reacts to the avalanche then, and how the structure affect the c avalanche. i'm fuel alfie, levina by lena. benevolent. it's a wall for example, and that wall holds up 27th stant helped in the avalanche levy floes over the top of its rivers, facing beside it aside to for by gets compacted to that problem yet. but what happens when an avalanche hits a flexible structure album, nit structure, if not so often, and it's looked on, install 2 cameras to record the impact of each avalanche then but so if pascals can flow through it and how fast they flow and how they redirected is that something we want to study here from the so what if the snow cat to pressure tie
10:26 am
proves useful it could soon be used to protect buildings and roads against avalanches. back on the kitchen han, the weather remains the challenge. shirt cream to the recent rose is a very strong wind. we are about to trigger an explosion to secure the north slope . it's always good news is on the damage on us, but it's our job. there's half a meter of fresh snow on the avalanche trail north flight, yada. miss miss maria, when there's heavy snow it can get on really exhausting. ah, as he got mad, i imagine some people envy us, banana, the joy, especially at 7 in the morning when the sun is shining, the shed. you get to be the 1st on the slopes, which have just been freshly groomed. but there's been much, at least some people would probably pay a lot of money for that on this. and so that's one of the perks of the job. and if what the amount of course, it also has its downside is that a cat like having to be out in the bad weather to day the head that assigned to
10:27 am
secure the ski areas and prevent avalanches decision. i will be glad to show you that my partner gets nervous in the mornings. folks in the hug i 10 o'clock shall be asking if i am okay. and if everything worked out, my parents are more relax, lynch, bones of all parents, then you definitely can't get stressed when you're an avalanche blaster. but you do have to make quick getaways but over we have to wait until the detonate yoga resists. there's always a rest of it, but we try to reduce that risk as much as possible. mm hm. wouldn't bill so they would of all, don't, will account for each other up and make sure that things run smoothly within the t, off discounts. if one of the problems may not is only a worker only a top layer came off or japan that worked more or less to out. we shifted the snow by strong in every major ski resort in austria,
10:28 am
avalanche blast as make sure it's safe from the slopes. this specially trained by experts in how to deploy explosives. was that oh nobody knew. thank god, we didn't have these masses of snow on the slopes today, and all it is, this is how much it snowed since yesterday. this isn't this why it's hard at the bottom and as fresh snow on top. did all, this is the fracture line where it breaks off and i was always counting what is on our end for good if someone headed down the slope at exactly that angle, that's where it would break off. it's no longer loose snow. it's more like a slab hollow came out as a short video shaped up flat like that one or a frequent cause of avalanches. and some of our because our explosives bunker level when the central is this heavy anais and his colleagues trigger explosions every day on average, they need $1.00 to $2.00 tons of explosives per season. it's
10:29 am
about $830.00. the 1st sky is and snowboard is arriving. almost all the ski lifts and slopes on the kitchen. han are open. thanks to the avalanche blast is everywhere in the alps blasting teams ensure the mountain sides are safe. the paths known valley interior table. the loose layer is it might break along the fracture lines. lansing and unstable layer will collapse with his walks and the slab might start to move on to converse concert, nip it in pavilion coleman. and we talked about if the weak layer is sprayed over wide area, may trigger the slow slab shape with common churn and all have a nice evening and see you tomorrow at 8459 am
10:30 am
we missed in the note while we want to avoid an avalanche emergency and you don't want to have to go looking for the buried vitus. but if it does happen, we need to know exactly what to do. and that's what we're going to review tomorrow . league focused on ian on can out. is that more which question? ah, anyone crossing this to re needs a sanctioning avalanche transceiver? mm. okay. as that. okay, come on down. log some like savannah lee slowly. now? yes, that's right. then pull you up. if i've got that flavor foot by next owned by bertha video. augusta. this is our l fi, this is an avalanche trend, survival. it has 2 functions, folks on the transmitter function and a search function, adding this. all right? now the search function is activating the fact that there's anything in the display . it means it's receiving a signal from somewhere i'm signal and thanked. nod from your nod
10:31 am
closer, but grace gets toby classic hot bully. i've checked that the groups have lunch transceivers are working on my devices, receiving properly. m o get 10. what i've made sure that everyone has their device turned on it. so we've taken the necessary safety precautions and we can set off from it. this is if i don't become non buttons, kellen again, with meanwhile at the top of the kitch stein, han, honey and kristof are making their way to one of the most dangerous parts of the mountain. the slope to the rise of the tracks is the steep one. if they were too full, they'd be unlikely to survive. handling the explosives in the snow,
10:32 am
flurries and temperatures of minus 20 degrees requires utmost concentration. guards are splitting those over 2 minutes. so let's go keep moving, the dish are visible, that shifted things are busy. so as i entered vicki it was don't look wild us with redone. let's head down to this slope is now safe, at least for the time being. if it keeps snowing and i might have to close the piece below. the other team is still busy. this is, it's on the wow, that's the north slow. so that's where we'll trigger the next flight runs kiana. i might get blas despite the risk of avalanches,
10:33 am
the slope is popular among free right is much to the frustration of the teen. some snow sports enthusiasts are reckless and the avalanche blast is risk their lives, making sure the terrain is safe for them. oh. in these conditions it's hard to tell of the artificial avalanche was effective in my law for this august of im. over the course of the day the wind can scatter the snow. so even if we've triggered an explosion, the snow can pile up a gas was washing or fast, so you have to keep doing control runs. gosh, and keep an eye on the situation. you look at that area so that we're done here. we'll head now to the kits lift station it off. it gets me back at the avalanche training course. it's time for the most important lesson. locating a person buried under sna recorded as to our legged aid. we can turn off our devices now, why we just need one device switched on gateway and stick it in
10:34 am
a backpack and bury it up there somewhere. go. ah, that that contains an active avalanche trans. see that? the sign, it's the name form where the location where the person who was buried was last seen to tell 5. could you take out your evidence transceiver and start searching with the saw him here. $143012.00 that nothing's going down. bad when the rain, when the display is below yet re you're nearly their london fluke. cy, common will lines are 2.0182.316 times com. i'm 1 point one common 1.0. i for one, hey, one thought and these, and this is where i measure the lowest value 1.0 minority next anger back. lasha searches the area with the prob, someone, his buried in an avalanche needs to be rescued within about 15 minutes after that
10:35 am
their chances of survival drop rapidly market me in my life came by neither stelis point. someone tends to ask, but more of a job, the person's eye it is out is a matter of life and death. take on sal codo furniture. you can be worried about mine a stab wounds as a dog. so don't be too gentle to meet me. find the spartan, and push, i'm stations on and films hunt fact film on fact. so, don't make sense to form the sounding. now i'm noticing that the price isn't going in quite as father, they some resistance, and that means remove your hands. ok prob stays in place and decent plots for the 1st time. you now have, how did you call content with the person who's buried? tallish in contact? some for sure. didn't time is running out every minute count. the fact that
10:36 am
resign itself and cope this is the head best best case scenario is on his responsive economy. he can talk on this as to my letter. so now i can call the mountain rescue services and give the all clear on and talk on past days. ok. this concept was me. it's mark. what we've just done is absolutely possible when somebody's been buried under as much as one and a half meters of snow up to 15 minutes, said silva. only if you know exactly what you have to do besides the discreet the euroleague most was other any questions? gifts that so because now it's your turn, but yet that's here that on the devastation, avalanches can wreak, wasn't full display on february 23rd. 1999 in the small town of god to into roll to christopher showed only vela greatest destruction was about where the highest point of his wallace phone cut off on the somalis. back
10:37 am
until march they was maoris garcia at the time. hammon hoopa was a member of the local council rehab feeling. i did it in an encountered of alief, like many locals. i was in crisis mode hotels and had really drove home what it means to bear responsibility of highest fontose to stagnant devices of cons. can i remember it very well. i've dish incubating the i was at my desk at the times the avalanche hit while i was working together in order for the snow settled on the windows of all the houses in the village wattsey. so it went dark. the kitty and every one realized that had been an avalanche that don't live on. we'll die miss thompson. when this done give was yet the emergency services went out immediately. isis can i have to see if you were able to start the search operation 10 minutes after the avalanche head of it's amy, not not levine in that i guess, shown with him. so hindsight begin. dump them into the mist. if they left, i spoke to the mayor on the phone and an hour later we knew many people were missing the lights up, we were mid search out there that i sad news began filtering in. don't answer nath
10:38 am
rowdy, but i mustn't forget that a lot of people were also rescued. us at feet, lights out latent give world a total of $38.00 people died in one of the worst avalanche disasters in the else. in recent history, numerous houses were also destroyed. the massive avalanche hurtled 1000 meters down the mountain, sallied. it says it on that lovey, nevada, they sadly avalanche caused such devastation because nobody expected one to occur on such a massive scale. and i like if i knew the lands and recalculations were made for high risk areas, not justin. god tied up in godson, i had led to a rethink everywhere on the abs region as my they saw him night, but aches and so and gotcha. these protective walls were built that same year, a year later,
10:39 am
the steel snow breeches were erected on the mountain. these were bus protective fences found throughout the elves prevent large accumulations of snow, known as cornices, from breaking off mountain ridges. piece safety in austria, ski resorts came under increasing scrutiny in the wake of the guy to a disaster. more and more fully automatic blasting moths are being installed on high risk slopes. up to 12 explosive charges fit into the magazines. they triggered by the push of a button and explode a few meters above the snow pack. on

10:43 am
i guess what you need to follow each of the steps. i'm not even used to practicing ones isn't enough. if you need to be able to do it in your sleep, i was taught in an emergency the person buried in the avalon just doesn't have much time before they die. it long, he take the less likely they are to survive pau, to get a quote. so even an extreme situations, you need to act fast. oh, you can't hesitate to tell him what he says. he's a problem with her father will for them kind of this time with a happy outcome. yeah, thank on the get started on there is now a level 3 avalanche morning. only half of the slabs are open, but thanks to the may and his team. it's safe, even if to day there are only about $300.00 guests out and about, rather than the usual $10000.00 eyes all boxes for those tickets. all right,
