13-hour rescue mission in Austria: Three helicopters try to save Germans. Three rescue helicopters cannot land at the scene of the accident.
Woman injured her leg while skiing in the Silvretta area of western Austria. It was only 13 hours and a demanding rescue operation later that the 58-year-old was saved. Since the mountain group is located in the border area between Austria and Switzerland, rescue workers from both countries were on duty. After first aid, the woman was brought to the valley, but not by helicopter, but with rescue sled.
