The columns of the red angel wings of the dollars the mountain rescue teams from ru to lp. Before the start of the shift emergency physician lydia house and her colleague checked their equipment. I used is a Charitable Organization that owns one of south two halls three rescue helicopters. Lydia isnt a nice the terrorist stabilizing the patients breathing and circulation is vital in an emergency more than thirty doctors from italy and germany work shifts for iota of pain. So far this shift has been quiet but as is often the case as soon as the food is on the table there is an emergency. But. A woman has fallen while hiking. There is always a crew of four on board the helicopter the pilot. A winch operator and emergency doctor and a mountain rescue worker. They have to get out of the helicopter hovers its impossible to lactate thank. The injured woman has broken bones and needs primary care as quickly as possible. That you feel a factor for the other for the record within just a few minutes they can call the helicopter and start lifting the patient i. I also expect but on the one hand we develop a thick skin after doing this work for many years people might say weve become emotionally numb book but thats not so we see awful scary things and were not fazed by them but were never numb to the suffering that the family or the people who witnessed the event the wife who sees her husband fall or the child who sees its father having a heart attack and being green. I made those things affect us all deeply in. The dolemite so named after the geologist they were dad to build immune who was the first to investigate their rumps. The mountain ranges located in northern italy a third of it in south to avoid the highlights leg blades and the landmark three peaks the main valleys of our god dana and the valve body are where the people speak a lot in. I need to or vegs lives in the val body im shes been making music with her father send so since she was a child. There are a lot in is the third official language and its on the curriculum of many schools. And therefore that it is another. Book to put out there. The mountains have contributed so much to our culture our songs and our way of thinking in general. I think the only reason leadin still exists is because our values are still confined and so remote from outside influences. This idea that we. Need to rent a band work on new songs during the semester breaks she goes to university in vienna like many young valley residents she commutes between the world of the mountains and the city. For. Marco and. Our pilots in addition to their work for the rescue service the brothers run a company for cargo flights theyre often so inundated with requests that they have to work double shifts marco flies in the morning gabriella in the afternoon. Look at this sea of clouds its incredible the mountains stand like ships at sea. Marco is doing a job for the italian alpine club. Assistance evil and beyond are already on the ground with the fueling vehicle getting everything ready. For. A quick briefing and off they go. Theyre here to dismantle a bit of a whack shelter located at an altitude of more than three thousand meters. And the emergency accommodation for mountain is is getting on in years and needs replacing that means pulling down the old shelter and flying the Building Materials for the new one up to the mountain. And doesnt think it has been you when youre flying cargo the altitude plays a huge role at three thousand meters you can carry two or three hundred kilograms less because youve got less power thats a problem. For me if. These people did what they did even if theres a limit every day to what you can and cant carry or do its extremely important to assess that and quickly does you have to react yet not take risks but if you dont care a little you. I wont do it because its a balance that you strike a hundred times a day when you decide what you will and wont do this to that child must. Thank. You. In the afternoon marcos brother gabrielle is called to a construction site one of the mosques of the lift leading up to the sanogo needs to have the concrete in its place replaced trucks dont stand a chance here. Flying cargo is not easy it takes a lot of practice and if youve gone a week without flying you noticed week you have to keep the congo steady it must and swing your carrying eight nine hundred kilos or a thousand and you have to handed over to the workers without injuring them its delicate work and you have your line beneath you and youre always close to the ground power cables some very dangerous and other cables good stead of a s. If you forget about them its a disaster. Its unique total concentration most. Of. The campagna fossil refuge on piers boy. The hot cant be reached by car all the food deliveries and Waste Removal have to be done by helicopter. Pad. I think i trained as a sculptor and that for a few years but we used to go hang gliding on weekends and not was even better. We took the engines from my brother snowmobiles and built a motorized gliders flying was fascinating it was a dream job. All. The sculpture has a long tradition in the region the volga dana boasts entire dentistry is of religious carvers thats why the summit crosses tend to be monumental works of art. Theres plenty of wood here carving was once a way for Farming Families to an extra money during the winter months. This man says the forest is his inspiration our one day mats and his children are on the lookout for resin he needs it as material in his studio. Or for to look how beautiful the resident is its true. Blood. When theyre injured it closes a wound and forms a new part its like that with my sculptures to sort of. Injured them with the power still being or come across a field theory. The for our own feels closely connected to his home and the environment the landscape defines his artistic signature. Thief. Thief. It was for me the stuff from a christian i think theres a certain rough feel to it you know which maybe comes from the mountains and is reflected in the people who live it here want to believe. He had wanted to become a dental technician but he couldnt find an apprenticeship so he ended up at sculpting school there the students carved countless figures of saints he doesnt want to give up on tradition but hes made a conscious choice to go his own way. And these days we have to confront the other languages that reality presents to us such as television and the internet and if you can occur from those images are very fast on page sixty seven and i mean we have to find a way to communicate and thats difficult with these traditional figures of saints and interpret but you have to have an interpretation that can be read today and thats important to me and i think its easier to communicate with your contemporaries if you use them. Modern or contemporary language weve been typing this and i for a community here. Since his sculptures were displayed at the Venice Biennale or the art world has taken notice on exhibits all around the world in new york mexico and taipei just to name a few places. He sculptures initially created a stir among conservative valley residents to charge to make huge to unusual the matter in the police were sent round to talk to him. For blankets if you compare yourself to the figures you see the person thats there and you refer to yourself when you see a madonna you see one kind of figure its different again with a christ ficca and a naked figure birthing a child or even a man birthing a child you immediately relate not to your south of life. But its not a direct comparison its about a story and i did. In the digital age. The machine is computer controlled it cuts the material the way the artist has programmed. I want to sell focuses on the surface of his sculptures and this is one consequence hes. You know. Hes in washington for christmas she almost distorts the figure into an animal life sounding certain areas so i get back something really human something very tender which. The upright position of his sculptures is very important to him i stand tall like trees in a forest. For black berry mouth its lieberman is i compare the life of a tree to the life of a person by a very i try to incorporate something of the tree into the figure and vice versa. And the figure then becomes the carrier of an in a value or an image in the rear. Just the most on the tree old ways grows on the shady side on the north side of the forest i liked the idea that a figure or a person can also have a sunny side and a dockside. The disusing the Helicopter Rescue operations of the eye or typing began at the sun on hit in the late eightys. Rafael kos now has lived here since he was a teenager. If you think rock ark mischka long not was nothing but planks and there was no paneling inside it was very dry off to be unmade of that for myself out of four old boards with a mattress on top of the one day i woke up and there was amount of. You know next to my head i had no water no electricity no access route no phone nothing so it grew very slowly its nice to build something for yourself its a south park and. Raphael has turned the house into a flourishing in with his wife magdalena. Today they run the business together with their grown up children the what used to be the base for the rescue crew. Behind us when we started this was a control center and the kitchen was out there and there was a window here we put up a desk we had a telephone and two radios and that was it that was fathers going on and. When we got a call out everyone had to jump up not delaine and everyone mountain rescue had absolute priority the guests werent so important we need to know. The helicopter took off right next to the terrace. The sun on hans during the pioneering days of the io topping the rescue service was founded when several mountain rescue teams joined forces the first rescue operations unforgettable. A very fancy car if i was very nervous when i see a young person joining us now flying for the first time and trembling im not surprised at all because i was the same to me. Its an overwhelming emotion because it was incredible for. Me that you could be up on such a long go in just a few minutes in a helicopter over all miss and his her own for whom double. It. Even today pilots cant always calculate the risks if. I still you know someones up there who needs help and thats bet me just rushed off you should be there as quickly as possible but there are situations when you just have to turn back. And thats tough. Its tough for them trying to go for it but youve got four other people on board so you sometimes have to say no. The team has been called out to an accident and more than three thousand meters once again emergency physician the neo alpha and her colleague have to climb out while the helicopters airborne this time over a screech slope. The pilot heads off to locate some way to land. There he waits for news from the accident site. Says this so does this i have a call its not like this is all rootie youre always very tense and signed and you have to make many decisions in a very short period of touch i. Was thinking. The rescue workers rehearse call outs like this several times a year working with the winch isnt entirely without its dangers it requires a lot of experience without help from the air this rescue operation would have taken hours to long life and death situation thanks. Yes. Leg binds. The seaplane is a prop for the italian t. V. Series one paso does c. L. O. Or one step to heaven. Forbid. It became a ratings hit in italy thanks to the landscape of the dynamite and its lead actor. Movie star turns hill. Was. In the role of forestry Corps Commander ph role he has to solve crimes. The wild west in the middle of the dolemite. And just similar for me even though the landscape is very different here or what i have my whole says is the adventure its an adventure or quando i told the producer i dont really play the forester you know if they gave me a horse in the forest. Sorrels and he got. Terrence hills mother was german his father it sally and he spent his childhood new devised in these days he lives in a maria and he helps choose the location for the serious. For mr it was very emotional for minimal to most and my father always told me about the beauty of the dollar mites as a child of us and in those days there werent any lifts it would be hiked fifty kilometers from hunter to hunt. If we knew the names of all mountains. To hit with and when i arrived here. It was like an homage to my family thought it was eco men who know men their love of the mountains and a lot more if you have even after them one time. Mountain guide alvin she worked as the double for the Hollywood Star in the climbing scenes but when the Production Company called him his initial instinct was to turn the job down. This movie comes to be honest i knew very little about the Film Industry and actors. I know Terrence Hill from the great westerns i liked as a teenager and then i said well id be happy to be among ten guide but id sent the my colleague for the job because his english is perfect and i couldnt do it with my poor english thank you mark of me thought of him and i thought he was american if i have the mind of government they said i can. Go. But. Off. The province of south to all supports the filming with an impressive sum of money the support for the film business is intended to stimulate the local economy. They asked me to secure the stunting and once they were there to film the scenes we realized that they were undoubtedly good at their job but they couldnt climb this mountain thats why they quickly took us for the job with a thing homesick once in a life or home. To prevent it from being obvious that terence hill had a double in some scenes now in china war the stars shoes even though they were much too big for him. He have ever like these tracking shows normal hiking shoes are totally unsuitable and although they are just about usable ive had to climb in cowboy boots during the shoot cowboys different clip them for me from. Actual i see out there you taught about god but ill be all over the bad. Here forest appears role has to rescue a teenager whos got himself into a difficult situation. You. Dont want to see through the difference between climbing as its shown in t. V. Scenes and real life is that the Television Version shows the dangerous and overly spectacular aspects. Well there are something always has to happen but i thought the really nice things about being in the mountains rarely come across and these programs from collect them come down scum says compile. It. Of course theres a happy ending for terence hale forrest a future is summoned to nepal for new adventures. The three peaks the north faces are even more than vertical overhangs drills for climbers but also a danger. To people have been injured in the three peaks a rescue operation could hardly be more difficult. If the three peaks are unique and their monumental when you fly into them you suddenly feel very small. The helicopter cant get to the injured climbers the overhang is at its most extreme here on the western most pinnacle the blade would hit the wrong. Place. Things get complicated for the team they have to prepare a rescue using a fixed length rope attached to the helicopter the longer the rope the more difficult the maneuver they need a good hundred and thirty meters the rope is doubly secured to the helicopter mountain rescue are two hours evolved will be hanging on to the rope hes tasked with extricating the engine climb as. The helicopter goes up and up and getting smaller and smaller and you look up and wonder how high it will go. And then youre up there has been turning like a car a salad i have to say. But when only swing over and attach the injured person and thats the critical moment that ties in there on the rock face and were all connected like that cheney had the rock face on that person the rescue worker and the helicopter. And when the rescue operation is almost over its still not over for me in because its much harder to drop them down at the end than it is by the rock face and theres nothing to tell me how quickly im going down to Mexico National do since. This time it was just a Training Exercise but the real life emergency has happened. Then you do think you know we have to risk it all because of two crazy people in the risk of me smashing into a rock losing our altitude certainly exists and we have to live with. Labor but i joined the mountain rescue to help people not to be scared but they felt that. This group is looking for clues in the secret visit hala and her companions are members of a society that studies the First World War and the front line that runs through the dolemite. Their home village of sesto or sexton in german is situated in an area that saw heavy fighting south of all was part of austria at the time secrets great grandfather was a soldier on the mountain called the cold also de sesto. The for want to climb up to the historic emplacements. Sigrid source is how great grandfathers direct. And this was sash fun and it was the very exciting for me to see how every day stories were documented and i could dive into a world of a hundred years ago and see what happened day by day. At this my great grandfather was brave enough to write critically despite the censorship and put his feelings on paper out. My car also hoffa was a farmer he had a wife and children. August the twenty first nine hundred fifteen. Heavy shelling and shrapnel fire chance of rock off and fly through the air terrible screaming after the second shell the wounded and dead are often kept secret. My. Its incredible work to get a cannon like this up the mountain dragging it with ropes to the spot over several days. My under heavy fire for eight hours i thought id never get out of it alive. Ive. Austrians against italians imperial rifle regiments against the isle peny but the forces of nature were more dangerous than the enemy avalanches rock falls in the cold killed more soldiers than enemy gunfire. Into hawk winter in the high mountains was particularly bad for the soldiers there were two catastrophic winters during the war with huge amounts of snowfall it was very dangerous especially for the many porters who had to climb up and down all the time they were hit by avalanches but sometimes avalanches were artificially triggered to bury the enemy porters. Many of the parts that we used to transport provisions and munitions still exist they were the first v. F. L. Martyrs in the dolemite. These four founded the society belum aquil arm to keep the history of the mountain front from being forgotten. The. Caves that were blasted into the mountainside by soldiers for shelter are at risk of collapsing on the cross or. For months troops were stuck at two thousand meters. During the winter they often had to go for days without food because the porters couldnt get through the deep snow with fresh supplies. Almost all the food came out of tens. Thirty soldiers shared a space this big it seems as if they were here only yesterday. Do you know if your. Great grandfather described the adverse conditions in his diary. July the third one nine hundred fifty lice the size of frogs no peace all night long the liason making everyone suffer more than the italians. Our command is a drunk and we have to suffer hunger. We were given a soup not even dogs would touch. Still would wish and say this is really moved me because if we look at the remains here you can see what an inhospitable place it was in that all had wet clothes it must have been steam everything was incredibly damp and thats why many soldiers got rheumatism that was the number one element conquered my minds. Made the thirtieth nineteen eighteen with peace i returned home. Thanks. Pilot. Cost now has to hari hes flying snow cannons to slopes that are used by skiers and snowboarders in the winter its late autumn and the weather is changing. Without giving the piece to helping hand snow wise skiing would be impossible in the dolemite hundreds of snow can and i needed the fog thats closing in is a big concern. In getting a lot of its phone during the play in the mountains if you have a long roll a cloud could have terrible consequences because you lose that visual connection says back. To the pilot its one of those situations that tells him hes reached his limits. And he says fear is very important because it tells you when youve gone too far when youre in a situation where you feel the helicopter wont do what you want its time to terminate. And thats when fear is important like a little light that says enough is enough enough. In the winter south to laws economy depends on skiing the amount of snow and hours of sunshine are vital for the businesses here there are. Well thousand kilometers of ski slopes in the dolemite alone. Emergency dr livio ill have the rescue workers over iota of pain work around the clock the number of serious skiing accidents is increasing year by year. As yvonne cynic i was really surprised by the accident dynamics on the slopes that the skiers are so fast and the injury patterns are almost the same as for motorcycle accidents. And when its really cold our drips frees the batteries dont work your hands get so numb you cant work so that makes everything he very difficult. Every emergency call demonstrates a new how the mountains demand respect. This is the soul of our pina keeps us together is our enthusiasm for mountain rescue we love the mountains and we share this idealism i hope that spirit stays alive. I am i am. I ever. Knew.
