Terrifying moment massive avalanche smothers crowd of fleeing skiers in Italian Alps
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Waiting at the Zerotta chairlift in Val Veny, those in the crowd at first appear indifferent, some even skiing towards the huge avalanche. But in the moments before it hits, many start frantically trying to escape the descending white cloud of snow and ice. Young children can be seen desperately trying to ski uphill away from the avalanche, while several stumble to the ground as they seek safety. There have been no reports of any casualties."
The Independent covers a wide range of topics including reproductive rights, climate change, Big Tech and investigative probes such as examining Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing the documentary 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet remains accessible without paywalls and depends on donations to fund journalists on the ground and report both sides of stories. Dramatic footage captured an avalanche near Courmayeur's Zerotta chairlift where skiers initially appeared unconcerned before fleeing a descending cloud of snow and ice. Young children were seen struggling uphill and some fell, but no casualties were reported. The event follows a deadly week of avalanches across the European Alps.
