Title brand 7, 6 m ski in Chamonix origin: Austria storm floods North Sea and Hamburg camera: fire, Rieck, Rau, Zakariah final brand 3, 1 m
The ski circus Chamonix Chamonix Valley and 20,000 ski and après ski enthusiastic spectators were the befeuernde setting for the international ski circuit and its players falling ground to Valley.
All skis, whether from synthetic resin, metal or fiberglass, was fought literally to drop. Because the champion waved it in 1962.
The 19-year old Austrian Christl Haas drove a blinding time especially in the upper part of the course. On the target side, she had enough standing force to fly over the treacherous hump and keep the pace. She won the fourth gold medal for Austria.
The downhill on the 3.2-kilometer green slope was murder. The route led through dark forest aisles, at the back of immersion in the sunlight the driver for seconds lost the ability to see vividly in the snow.
A series of heavy falls quite dramatically questioned the sense of downhill runs. They occurred at speeds of up to 80 kilometres per hour. Hardened ski bunnies felt the but more than optical change.
The Austrian Karl Schranz was the number 6 in the slope. He flew over a record time by Perillat and a painful abscess in the neck on his synthetic resin skis all dumpsters and emerging safely and with early bounce.
Schranz drove ideler lines. He gave away no meters and took the necessary tenths of a second for his victory in the downhill and the combined even on the rich fall finish Schuss. Thus, Schranz won the fifth and sixth gold for Austria.
The storm flood disaster this report is the Chronicle of a natural disaster. It is a report of the impotence of the human in the face of an ancient horror reputation, in whom no one believed: the flood comes.
Hamburg is located 100 kilometres from the North Sea. At high water the harbour must cars often through flooded streets. Nobody has imagined something there In the morning of 17 February.
But gradually a terrible message spread. The South of the city by a storm surge was been overrun in the bedroom.
In that moment knew almost none of the extent of the dramatic events in the critical hours of the night. But the presumption of a disaster was a short time later to certainty.
First rescue squads in the deserts of water came in still clueless Einzeleinsätzen. There was still no clue where assistance was most urgent.
On the airport Fuhlsbüttel, Hamburg's single undisturbed connection to the South, Federal Economic Minister Erhard arrived on behalf of the Federal Chancellor. Also Federal President of Lübke had to fly in a helicopter in the flooded districts.
The force of the water had left undamaged no Deichrkilometer. Two locomotives were killed in an accident on a railway embankment then. The train driver. have No more save themselves can. From all parts of the Federal Republic be units of the Bundeswehr used for rescue and salvage operations. They often acted on their own.
(Original - tone)
In the first two days after the disaster, help columns worked to exhaustion. Over 1,000 people from the flooded areas were rescued with helicopters. Eyewitnesses described the situation in letters to their families: (original sound) "the Bundeswehr helicopter pilots accomplish real feats. They are almost without a break in service. While the storm whips the water against the houses, they end up in a small space or hover between power lines and chimneys, to save the people." "If the helicopters were not, many of us No more would be alive. You have brought us food and drinking water and flown out of the disaster area children and old people who were already frozen from the cold."-"now already 24 hours has gone since that night, but the boats of the Bundeswehr still in the houses looking for survivors. This man here has been in the water for 18 hours. Many could call for help No more urn before exhaustion."-"the storm surge has surprised us in the bedroom. Old people lived in our neighbor's House. Time No more enough had to save themselves in the upper floors.
Now they tear the roofs and are looking for dead."
In all the houses the same realization: clueless and sleeping people from the water had been surprised and often buried under the debris of their collapsing homes. It is estimated up to 500 dead. 40 - thousand people are homeless. Again and again brought storm boats of the Bundeswehr and other aid people in security, which had recovered them from trees and rooftops. Around 15,000 people had to be evacuated from the 70 square kilometer large flood area.
The survivors of the disaster had saved only that they could access in their bedrooms in a hurry.
Many of them have lost their whole substance for the second time in her life.
20,000 people were trapped by the water in their homes. Their supply was one of the greatest difficulties.

Again, the around 100 American and German helicopters start to provide the enclosed with the basic foodstuffs. Because the gas and power supply had collapsed, was no way to prepare hot meals for most.
While working on the sea dikes with all available forces. Sometimes locks had to be blown up, to give the water mass outflows. But the repairs are now urgent. The country must be protected somewhat against new floods.
