The mountain gave them back of such avalanche were buried about eight weeks ago three German climbers as they tried to tackle the East face of the Watzmann.
At that time, the recovery of the dead failed due to the disgrace of the weather. Now, the victims of the ice Chapel have been recovered. Constantly threatened by avalanches, which every moment in the depth could tear them, a rescue expedition of the mountain rescue teams undertook the risk to pick up the dead from the mountain.
It took hours for the men of the salvage operation, succeeded to overcome the most dangerous places. A further avalanche out of the icy rock dissipated a few seconds after the action could be completed.
Decorated with FIR take the victims of Mount their final journey into the Valley; and if their loved ones can To give them now but still the last escort, so they owe it to the brave men who even risk their lives on the game, where only to save what the white death of the life spared. The room gave him back the events that come together in this week, like many thoughtful vote i here the defeat before the wall of ice a mountain and here victory of the technology of the space.
Commander Alan B. Shepard considered Once again the 20 m-high Redstone rocket, which is prepared already for several hours for the launch at Cape Canaveral. After the Soviet space success is expected the output of this company with fiebernder voltage. Shepard to the top of the rocket going up in an elevator.
With a friendly Kambonde, America was the world's first astronaut will be adopted. It decreases the boots to him and tried to help him as sterile in the mercury capsule. There he is on a the body strapped customized bed. Bad weather delayed the start all four hours.
The rocket in an orange ball of fire rises to 34 15: 00 central European time. Without incident, it rises 184 km high. After a few minutes, the capsule has separated from the carrier rocket, Shepard ignites the brake by hand and settles the capsule on the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Helicopter and floating units take the happy landed space pilots on board. The crew of the carrier "Lake Champlain" shares the enthusiasm about Shepard's success with the entire American nation.

Tanks for peace?
In the character of space prestige, which was symbolized with gas-filled balloon rockets were the may celebrations in Moscow. Jury Gagarin took the parade of Soviet graphs off which rolled off with flower-bearing miniature Cosmonaut and sport marches against a background of over stresses peaceful apart from Prime Minister Chruschtschow.
The combination of Khrushchev Gagarin was the culmination of Soviet may enthusiasm, which gave this new impetus the railbased realism of the system at this time. A much more pleasant chroniclers duty the tiara and the Crown led us to Rome, where the witnesses to Western history and the cheers of Mediterranean enthusiasm gave the equally spirited as worthy framework a European event. Queen Elisabeth of England visited the capital of Italy.
The traditional splendor of the Vatican received the monarch when she visited together with the Duke of Edinburgh Pope Johannes XXIII, a visit.
The encounter between Elizabeth II, which applies in England as head of the Anglican State Church, and the head of the Catholic Christendom was Instead of in an atmosphere of great cordiality. The Queen to an almost half-hour conversation was in the Pope's private library.
The Royal visit to the eternal city was graduated with a visit to the Vatican art treasures. London football fever while Queen Elisabeth in Italy their country represents a King who is only rarely to unite with the term dignity ruled in London: the Football League. The steam of the English master of Tottenham Hotspur Leicester City gave the thousands on the ranks of the Wembleystadions in the same orbital, which Germany has survived happily and without mental damage in terms of European Cup. It went to the Cup final, the most coveted trophy in English football.
It hailed fouls on the miracle grass of Wembley and the Heißsporne of Tottenham played so bad as ever this year, nevertheless, succeeded, the team reduced to ten players through a particularly lazy foul from Leicester, there to hang two goals into the net.
Humanised again halfway through their victory, the Hotspur feel that more extensive, as real love for soccer documented beautiful trophy and then the tributes of their followers, whose joyful tenderness. Gaudí at the Gauderfest after a scuffle police prohibited it looks however in Zell Zell in the Zillertal. But in fact, these blows belong to the traditional Gauderfest. Even today the Cockfight is essential during this festivity.
The attraction of old rural traditions can be in the Ziller Valley, hardly the question arise whether relics from the middle ages are not preserved with the Viecherei representing a cock to fight finally. But through the experience of past years smart the cocks fight finally according to the motto "Gives the wiser".
The head-to-head combat if RAM is also not very testifies to special sensitivity, but allows conclusions on the evaluation of the head sheep and people.
The thesis that acquired properties turn time into hereditary, is a plausible explanation here. Double victory in the horse field racing to the newer sporting traditions the international airport-race horse field, at the tour start sports and half sports cars of all classes, and makes Who takes it, that it was fairly easy to hunt a car over the concrete runway of an airfield, was wrong but thoroughly.
All private drivers who are at work here, have committed apparently in the head, radically shorten the life of your companion. Still, one gets the impression that a downright inexplicable luck repeatedly thwarted these intentions.

Reckless Motorradelei as reckless this Devil To try mountain to racing in the California Modeste is home. That it goes downhill faster and more convenient, has emerged clearly after a few attempts, and in wise appreciation of this fact the motorcycles were sitting their driver and wore out the competition in the opposite direction - from top to bottom.
