Alpine Rescue - Episode 4 - Angels of Mont Blanc

[@luciad5988]

These rescuers are beyond brave. Bless them!

[@trespire]

Jimmy looks more like a Belgian Malinois than an Alsatian. The chopper pilots skills are very impressive hovering on the spot with 70kph winds.

[@123Myluci]

Yes - But the name is German Shepherd.. I've had three. And nothing is safe from their nose.

[@TeriyakiBoy]

These pilots are amazing

[@maureenkerr234]

Very good series. Would love to see another series with their new helicopters.

[@alec4672]

Props to that cameraman for making that climb

[@3vimages471]

Thank god for a break in the weather.

[@LittleChena]

Climbing in shorts, getting stuck without food and water ... no words for this kind of stupidity.

[@eduardorodriguez3110]

Me: So, you're a doctor? What kind of doctor? The Doctor: The kind that climbs mountains to see what condition my patients are in. Me: I'm trying to imagine what could possibly have the ability to carry the weight of your balls. The Doctor: The chopper pilot and the rescue team carry them just fine. I often wonder who carries their balls.

[@cleopatraoatcake7364]

These people who push themselves to their limits and to the limit of what's safe to rescue others--wow! This raises my low opinion of humanity.

[@mortalclown3812]

There are so many truly extraordinary humans on earth giving it their all. Please don't lose hope.

[@nigellbutlerrr2638]

great people, it is so sad that many tourists and visiters on chamonix mountains have little clue about the risks and dangers of this chain of mountains. i met so many idiots there.......... the problem is lack of education

[@TheDarkKnight03]

if you are fully prepared its not that dangerous most accedints here happen because lack of preparation both physically and mentally

[@mortalclown3812]

... and hubris.

[@phill8395]

Wish they would also put the protective ear muffs that block the rotor sounds on the trained rescue dog when the dog rides on the helicopter w them. All the rescuers have the ear muffs on to protect their ear drums from damage by the helicopter’s sounds. But dogs’ ears are more sensitive and acute than the humans, so the helicopter’s high pitch, piercing rotor sounds must be extremely painful on the dog. The rescue dog needs all its senses to be in tune and working perfectly in order to help the crew successfully find victims. So why did they neglect to put the protective ear muff on the poor dog to block out the loud, harsh rotor sound so it’s ear drum doesn’t get damaged? They should care for the dog. The dog can be better at its job if it is properly looked after and cared for and has all its senses functioning at 100%. If they continue on like this, they are impairing the dog’s hearing which is a vital sense that the dog needs in order to perform the rescues and find the victims for them.

[@mortalclown3812]

Yes x 💯💯💯💯

[@susanwilliams2392]

So many people trying to earn themselves Darwin awards. There's 'group of people climb mountain known for extreme weather and dangerous conditions, with no rations or source of liquid water'. There's hiking on a glacier in shorts and a tee shirt. There's literally every inexperienced beginner who tries climbing this thing. And of course the half-successful 'abandon your packs and run to the top'

[@risorangis2509]

doctor moracchioli died on a norway summit in 2012 .RIP

[@rneustel222]

Oh, that's terrible news.

[@Shadowofthesoldier]

+Ris Orangis Holy shit... so sad.. that was a great man

[@LittleChena]

+Ris Orangis That is indeed very bad news, very sorry to hear that.

[@TheAidanodian]

Ris Orangis oh shit. No! RIP

[@mortalclown3812]

He died with 4 others in Norway. They found his body under 24' of snow. Rest in paradise.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

Does the air get pumped out of the splint like she says or does it get pumped full making it tight?

[@panini4200]

It gets pumped out. It starts as a "soft" pliable brace and when the air is removed from the foam inside the material it shrinks down conforming to the limb and becomes rigid providing the support needed for transport

[@tjmichael8773]

People try to drag their kids up to that summit. It's not an easy climb at all...

[@Отаньо]

❤❤🍀🍀

[@mrpeabodythethird]

I know people who's brains have been starved of oxygen at normal altitude....

[@KameronATM]

This music is from the 24 series!

[@zizou4111]

I love 24, I was watching this and thinking "This sounds so familiar... reminds me of 24, maybe it was the same composer!" :')

[@daviddwight5745]

“ I’m not wearing a helmet on camera “😑😂

[@mylifeinthailand8751]

All these people putting the rescuers lives at risk because of their selfishness

[@mortalclown3812]

After seeing this, I wonder if crevasses are to dispose of idiots. 🤦

[@vcom2327]

At around 20:00 there are climbers "stranded" in a refuge with no food. That they should be climbing without food reserves is ludicrous. In any case the refuges have emergency food and small stoves to melt snow for water. I have been in many of them. The climbers were in no danger. This is over dramaticization by the film makers.

[@domesticterrorist483]

Its the Vallot emergency bivoac shelter, its basically a metal gardem shed. There are no stoves or food in emergency bivvy shelters. You are right though about these idiots going up without at least a small stove and pot to melt snow plus some dehydrated rations.

[@Shadowofthesoldier]

high altitude refuges can be anything from shelters to housing, but the french definition for that word is "a refuge provides cover, and *eventually* food". on Mer de Glace, you just have a small crappy shelter stranded on a concrete block. That's why the commentator said that often on that refuge, people are in distress. Because this is a shithole you don't want to end up stranded in. Only people in need goes there

[@aldoud1]

yahoooooooooo

[@PSPmaster321]

Good series... but what an arrogant and condescending commentary.

[@adventureswithfrodo2721]

Tactical Scout no she is just reading a script written by stupid writers for the clueless watchers.

[@PSPmaster321]

Yah true true
