GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S HOMEPAGE:
www.goodmorningamerica.com/
The snowboarder who is filming is Victor Liebenguth. They found her friend about 70 meters away and after this rescue a second avalanche hit on the face of the mountain and trapped a third person that they rescued as well. Everyone made it off the mountain face alive
Thank you for posting a follow up
Great job to the rescuers! ❤ So glad to hear all 3 were found!
Thank you wonderful person for the closure!❤
Thanks you for closure! 👍🏼
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you:)!!
These two are the luckiest people alive. And whoever is this womans friend; they need to know that they have the best friend in the world.
My best friend wouldnt take me to my possible demise
Not just luck, precaution. You can see she has an inflatable pack that helped keep her more bouyant during the avalanche, and they tracked her location with an emergency beacon that she was carrying. This is a French rescue team.
There is definitely luck involved but this is also a whole safety system used properly and working well. Hard work and intelligence kept this woman and her friend alive.
@@HimanXKThanks for the additional information. I don't ski or mountain climb at all so this was something new I learned. 🙂
@@austinmartinez2312ever been in car with your friend? Ever gone outside with them? Yeah? Then shut up.
Yes, she was barely able to breathe and thought about her friend first. That's friendship goals.
The fact that she was saying "find my friend" more than saying something about her. That's true friendship 😣❤
I feel like I am going insane. Why are so many saying this? She thought about herself first. "Help me. Help me. Help me." Only after she was safe herself did she consider her friend. I am not saying that makes her a bad person but it doesn't make her a good one or an exceptional one in any way....
@@redblue5140 yeah. I realized this after I sent the message. Sorry. You are right
She Said help me Five hundred Times Before
@@redblue5140 I am with you on that one and it makes me feel like I am going insane as well..!
@@redblue5140 you have to be saved first before you can help anyone else, she couldn’t breathe being packed under snow. It’s traumatic and she must have been in shock. When she realized she was going to be okay, she kept repeating to find her friend. It’s not like she forget about them.
These people are so underrated. It is so difficult actually finding people once they are buried and the amount of stress and guilt these people go through when it’s not their fault is so immense. You guys are true hero’s and I thank you as a snowboarder
Apparently, these snowboarders were wearing beacons and inflatable avalanche vests to make them much easier to find and rescue.
They had beacons. He literally pulls it out before they start digging for her. He knew exactly where she was because of the equipment they use. It wasn't luck. This is also a rescue team, not just random snowboarders
They were wearing beacons. They were lucky that other people were well equipped as well though
why is your profile pic the picture for ecstacy?? lmao
bro got the ecstacy pfp 😭
I lost a friend in an avalanche almost 30 years ago this January. She was a 38 year old world class skier. So grateful these two are safe. Bless you all.
Sorry for your loss!!
@@angielala9453 me too. Ginger was awesome. Have always wondered how my life would have been different with her as a role model.
She is gone but not lost as long as you keep her memory around.
I’m so sorry, this must’ve brought it all back.
@@zephirinedrouhin3735 just very grateful these two did survive. ,❤️
She was more worried about her friend then herself
that's a true friend right there
It's also cause she knew she was fine cause she could breathe but who knows if her friend was under snow or could also breathe.
Idiot, she was safe already
@@zeddytheheadread again
She was already saved at that point.
Shows her true colors of being a loving caring soul
_Even in that moment of distress she was worried about her friend , not many people in today's world are like that who will care so much about their friend or even could appreciate her doing that_ ❤❤
“Did you find my friend”- what a lovely lady
“My body is fine. Did you find my friend?” Bless them all.
Did they? Was the friend alive?
@@sixmercer2504the title says so
Lmao you see how much snow she was covered by and still didn’t even try to escape 😂😂😂 it’s actually pathetic. She could of got out herself hahaha I think she just wanted to be rescued
@@joshuapace5129you have never been buried in deep packed snow, have you?
@@joshuapace5129that was heavy packed snow so it would be harder than you think.
Thats the kind of friend you want. Bless her.
yes me too
Amen !! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
But did they find her friend??
@@ms.m3nyeah they helped aswell
@@ms.m3nyes they found the friend around 100m, a 3rd person was caught in the avalanche but was rescued too, no one died that day 👍
the way he says "it's all right" is so reassuring it makes me want to have him as a second dad
Дай Бог всем таких друзей! В такую минуту думать о своей подруге! Храни вас Бог! Просто слезы наворачиваются!
That's not just snowboarders, that's a full french rescue team lmao 🤝
That’s how it’s supposed to work out there, the more experienced you are the more you’re looking out for other people
They made me proud to be 1/4 French today ❤
I think they're saying that they're not just regular people the way that it was sort of click baited- you also have to pay for this rescue. It's not free you will be charged, but did your friend get found?
Did the friend get found???? Where they charged & how much??? I know if you fall in a crevasse you have to pay the rescue team... not sure about avalanches -
Never heard of someone having to pay a rescue team 🤔 maybe if your family hires a private team but here in America you most certainly don't have to pay to be rescued! What if you don't have the $ and how does that work? Do they say before bringing you back you have to pay x amount or they leave you? Do you telepathically sign a contract before they come for you? Do that take your back if you don't pay your bill? I mean seriously that makes zero sense
The fact that she was nearly frozen and remembered to say find my friend is a strong person. This literally had me in tears!
Frozen is not really the issue.
It’s suffocating
You don’t freeze the insulation of the snow and their clothes creates a thermal barrier and keeps them warm. It’s the compression and lack of oxygen that does it
Same here
Nearly frozen? Are you a clown? If she wouldve been "Nearly frozen" aa you say then she wouldn't act so calm
This had you in tears? 😂 the world is full of weak people
As soon as she realized she's alive and going to be OK she starts worrying about her friend. She's they type of friend I'd want.
Thank you for rescuing the trapped skiers/snowboarders! Thank you to the rescuers who always step up! These rescuers are amazing! They do this because they understand how important their jobs are! Thank you for sharing the video of this rescue! Thank you for saving these people!
The fact that she started yelling save her friend. That almost made me cry
Eventually, after saying “Help me” ten times when that was exactly what they were already doing.
@@icturner23she was in shock and probably shaken. I'd be repeating things over and over again too in her situation
@@KylaGraceu r correct
@@icturner23I imagine she was in shock and extremely disoriented. After all she just faced death and survived.❤🎉
@@icturner23well of course she was on the verge of death from suffocation under snow, she couldn't think straight. Only after she saw that she could breathe again and people were helping could she get her bearings back as most people would.
I think it's really cool that even though she was just in a really traumatic and life-threatening situation after she took a few breaths she almost immediately got over the panic and started asking about her friend.
BFF for sure!
That's a sign of a genuinely good person.
Definitely kept panicking while asking about her friend 😂
@@zrl1017Typical of adrenaline overload and shock. You should try it someday.
@@zrl1017 it's called being human. She could've died and was worried about her friend's life. I also don't think you know the definition of the word which is "sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behavior." Where exactly did she exhibit uncontrollable or wildly thinking behavior? I smell a rojo 💊 popping incel...
Thank God for the 3 rescues that day !!! Everyone safe !!! Thank God for these teams !!! 😊😊😊
Thank God they’re safe. A big thanks for the Rescuers.👏🏻🙏
Did 2 mins of research., rather than reading comments...
“We were the first on site and immediately started to do the beacon research.
“We quickly found the first one, second one was 70m down the face and quickly rescued as well.
"There were no reported deaths as a result of the avalanche"
Thanks for that
Thankyou, it would be great if the person posting would give the same information !
@@kara455 Especially since OP is AN ACTUAL NEWS STATION.
MSM SUCKS!!!!!
@@goodisnipr maybe start your own news channel with actual information lol
@@kara455 Naw, but I'd watch what Jordan Goehring produces.
"Find my friend" how many people got a friend like this ❤ Bless you guys
All of my friends I'm lucky and so grateful to have them
To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which trancends all understanding be with you all Amen!❤

"like this" -wym? If someone don't throw a "find my friend" your way after 5 "help me!"s then that person is literally not your friend. 😂
I do! I have a friend who will walk through Hell for me…..and I do no less for her!
Thank you to the people involved in this rescue. You are awesome😇🙏😇🙏😇
that’s what friends are for..❤
That avalanche airbag she has behind her head made all the difference in her rescue. It elevates you above the snow more meaning you won’t get buried 40+ feet beneath. Also wearing as many recon beacons as possible helps in locating you. That’s what you’re hearing with all the beeps
Non-skiier here. I've seen those airbags but may I ask a naive question? What causes them to inflate? Im.assuming there is a sensor of some type, but at what point does it go off?
@@ZooZoo293 it’s activated by pulling a ripcord
@@spooky-yuki Thank you for taking the time to let me know!
@@ZooZoo293 no sweat! I was curious about it too 😊
Yes! Going out properly equipped saved their lives!
You can never thank someone enough who either has saved your life or even helped you
So what about the one who gave you life for free
@@pawiischannel3931 you on about God or people who have saved your life?
From experience as a male i got flowers.
The other times got nothing.
Will step up every time i can and able to no matter what.
It would be a relief if i could choose the reward, i never wanted flowers in my life. I however would appreciate help for food and rent. But even to desire a monetary reward is tabu, so i bet this will stir up a few people that dont get it.
@@pawiischannel3931 yes ,I did thank my parents for bring me into the world of ours
before they passed.
Praise the LORD. The giver and redeemer of life. Jesus loves you friends; open your hearts to him and be free.
Were at our best when were helping others no matter how big or small ...
that sense of feeling you get from helping someone and receiving thanks heartfelt thanks is amazing nothing better if you ask me ❤
Gracias valientes por salvar vidas, mil bendiciones para todos ustedes ❤
.."Find my friend, find my friend, find my friend" she was selflessly more worried about her friend's well-being. A true loyal friend indeed...
Tf you talking about. She kept say “help me help me help” first.
@@satan4hireif you were in the same situation, you would probably react the same way. She was in shock. As soon as she got a breath or two of air she could begin to think normally again.
@@satan4hirelmfao exactly
Why do you people act like you wouldn't do this if you were in this situation? So many people are like "wowwww she's so selfless" My god of course you're going to be worried about your friend who is potentially dying. Wtf?
@@satan4hireyou are crazy 😂
Gotta put your own mask on first. How is she going to say “help my friend” if she cant breathe mr technical?
After she knew she was alive she just yelled for her friend. Shes a keeper.
Plot twist: he is friendzoned
@@clementspatig6007 Was a woman as well
@@TheMennoXD plot twist it was her girlfriend
@@Maximus5775 👏👏👏👍
Yea it's perfectly normal. I doubt if anyone wouldn't say the same thing? She's a privileged fool going off piste without the correct gear and also what about anyone?? Why just my fwiends 🙄
Such a kind lady to be going thru such a dramatic event and ask for her friend and keeps saying thank you. Just proves you don't have to be a prick during tough times.❤
No you MUST be a prick in tough times. Everyone knows this.
I get teared up EVERY TIME I watch this. So glad they were found and were okay
damnit I'm in the skiing accident algorithm now
did you see the snowboarder with the same backpack?
@@sleeptime5464 haha, yeah. I think I saw that one too!

I was a paramedic before, and did some rescue in the french alps. The fact they found them alive and unhurt is very lucky. Also the snowboarder who rescued them was super well equipped, things we didn’t have 20 years ago. It’s a blessing to have people like this guy nowadays!
Now thats a friend you want, she so concerned for her friend and not even worried about herself. Good job to all the people that jumped into action. and those little shovels i never knew they had something like that but it seems the best tool that one should carry when on a mountain
Thanks to Swiss and French rescue team 🇨🇭
The Rega ❤❤🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Wow!! Yeah when I was 18 I traveled from my home in Hawaii to go on a trip with my girlfriend to Switzerland, Austria and Italy. This was in 1980, to visit and stay with my friend in Verbier Switzerland. He had a chalet up there in the alps and asking shop called Mountain Air. It was so completely different from skiing in the Rockies in Colorado because there were no rope barriers or warning signs not to ski out of bounds. It was awesome skiing but avalanche danger was pretty spooky in a lot of places! I remember being in Saint anton. Austria skiing in thr Tyrol alps having the most incredible time of my life. We stayed in this building- pension (?) at the base of the slopes, and about 3 years later, I saw on TV news that same place destroyed by an avalanche and people had died!!! I was of course sad for the people who lost their lives, and the wonderful Austrians who I just loved, but it scared me!!! We spent about 2&1/2 months in all these amazing and beautiful places skiing and immersed in the culture and language and oh my goodness the food!!!! The best!!! The Berner oberland the Jungfrau region in the Swiss alps was one of the most incredible places I've ever seen or been to in my life!!!!! We stayed in interlaken between lake thun and spiel and it snowed all night. When we awoke early the next morning, we took the small cog train ride up into the Jungfrau and the weather was bluebird skies and no wind and a fresh two feet of powder snow covered everything! It was beautiful and the Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau peaks were magnificent, spectacular!!! The whole area, was like being in a fantasy world, a winter wonderland landscape that had me in complete awe!!!!! For the first two days up there, we just went sightseeing taking the cog trains and gondola and I was a young pro photographer and I wanted to shoot everything I could so we didn't ski till the third day. I remember places like the 007 Piz Gloria restaurant that was far above Wengen and Lauterburin and Murin. I think the Schilthorn(?) I mean at 18 and from Hawaii, we were in the most amazing place!!!!! I consider the Jungfrau to be one of the 7 wonders of the world. And where I live we have the Na pali coast on the island of Kauai and the Jungfrau is as awesome!!!!!! Best trip of my life!! Back in 1980 few people that age traveled that far especially from Hawaii, and then by ourselves and for almost 3 months!! We took trains rented a car for a month and stayed in incredible places!!! The entire trip plus airfare for that long, and back home I did for $6,000.00 US!!!!!! I had just finished high school and saved the money and planned the whole thing when a friend invited us to come stay up in Verbier Switzerland with him! I had met him only about 6 months earlier as he was my girlfriends friends brother! They we're dual U.S-Swiss citizens. I took the two brothers out to my families beach house on the windward side of Oahu Island and because they were dive certified, I invited them to come stay with me and took them out on my small Boston whaler boat to go scuba diving and they were completely blown away!!!! I grabbed huge lobsters and speared some really good eating fish and took them swimming and diving with dolphins and humpback whales and we had feasts each night!!!! Just did what we do in Hawaii, shared the spirit of Aloha with them!!!!!! So my new friend casually invited me to come visit and stay with him in the Swiss alps in Verbier!!!! I remember saying "are you sure?" because if so I will definitely come!!!! We'll, that turned in to the best trip of my life!!!!! I fell in love with Europe and the languages and culture and wow!!!! the food and wine and beer!!!! Like I said few people just took off and did something like that at age18 back then!! Especially coming from Hawaii it was quite a flight and we'll, it also was really uncrowded back then and I just went for it!!!! Most snow I've ever seen, and I went to college in Colorado and skied in the rockies a lot, was up in the Swiss Alps in Verbier when it snowed non stop and in a few days it had literally snowed 15 feet of powder, burying my friend chalet and most everything up there!!! I was powder skiing in 5- 6 feet of fresh powder and the snow was literally going over my girlfriends head!!!! They used to wear snorkels back in those days to ski deep powder!!!! Really!!!! I had heard about it!!! Verbier is world famous and legendary for skiing and huge snowfall amounts!!! An amazing experience for a surfer and Hawaiian waterman born and raised in Hawaii!!!!! A winter wonderland!!!!!! The trip of a lifetime!!!!! Dolomite alps in Italy, the Austrian Tyrolean alps, we skied the famous St. Moritz!!!!!! I mean I was 18!!! I wasn't from a super wealthy family but my parents did well, but I paid for everything for my girlfriend and I from my own hard work and seriously I considered staying and just living there!!!! But my island ties and life were too strong though I continued traveling and especially in Europe extensively over the years!!! But when I saw that place I stayed in St. Anton Austria buried by Avalanche about a Year later after that trip, I was pretty shocked!!! Remember skiing in the alps that first trip and being super quiet and careful not to trigger an avalanche in many places and it was really different from the rockies. Just anyone could ski out of bounds and many dud, and it was really dangerous sometimes!! Ski rescue guys are legendary over there!!! Respect!!!!
Aloha from Hawaii

I *knew* I heard some German type situation in there.
So why she all getting in a state when she chose to go there and dance with death At her own accord? All the fairy tales fantasies seems to have discombobulated some people's brain 🙄
Respect 💯👏👍
I love that she is worried for her friend before she is rescued. Thank God for the people who were there to help them. 🙏❤️
Not before. After “help me help Me”. Fair enough.
@@M_SC are you tone deaf? the person was under the snow for who knows how long? she was in shock and scared. thats just being a human

Don't thank God thank the people
Everyone needs friends like her.. who's worried for her friend even in this situation.. ❤
Only a true friend will say "find my friend " in that situation
This just shows you how important having the proper equipment is. Without the airbag to keep her from getting buried further, and the beacon which allowed them to locate her it could have gone much worse.
I never realised she had an airbag until your comment, I've seen them for sale but never understood what they were for but they clearly work
How do they work? Deploy before or after buried?

Her rescuer has a calming voice.
It's trippy how true that is - if he matched her energy level and tried to calm her with a bunch of soothing, she might have spiraled into emotions. His lack of emotion kept her stable, who knows if any of that was conscious to any of them
@@rickeykoga2312the guy was french and at one point in the video you can see him point at the snow and say something to his friends. He is actually telling them "I got this one, start searching for someone else". My theory is that when she start saying "find my friend" he knew they were already searching and he probably struggled to find the right words to tell her that as he was trying to get her out as fast as possible.

Rescuers are a different breed of human for sure. By snow, sea, fire, or land, the fact that there are people out there whose life’s work is to save people is just incredible.
I always say that first responders of all types are the real super heroes. Not these over paid puppet entertainers like athletes and actors.
Agreed. @@Frantheman-ub5np
These aren't rescuers they are folks enjoying the snow but also prepared to find and dig out an avalanche victim.
If you had to wait for true first responders the buried victims would die.
If you are a passionated skier you should get yourself a training. You can book it and I can recommend it especially when you often go for powder. It's a good feeling to be a little bit prepared and you can immediately help of you ever get in a situation like this.
Just near my home there's a dedication to a fire fighter

Oh bless her and everyone who stopped and made that rescue their number one priority! This is why bad things happen on earth, because it shows us what we could all be doing on a daily basis.
Good job, rescuers. If it weren't for people like you, it's a tough job.
What a friend to have.
Omg could you imagine the complete helplessness of being stuck like that??! I'm so glad they found them ❤
It's like a combination of quick sand and drowning in a pool. Total helplessness.
@@chrismaples8419 @chrismaples8419 yea, except with either of those, it would be more drawn out, and you MIGHT be able to escape somehow. An avalanche would just render you instantaneously unable to move - drowning in heavy, cold, wet snow. 😬🥶😳
@@elsvaughn7959The very thought makes me cringe. 😬
It's not only scary it's the fact that you're helpless and can't help yourself at all especially if your mouth gets packed with snow there's all kinds of precautionary measures that should be implemented before people should be allowed freely to go skiing or snowboarding and number one is having a rescue Beacon no matter what that should be a law or rule for doing this kind of Recreation and you can see why in this video the two skiers did everything right
That’s why I wouldn’t take up that sport for that reason I don’t want to find myself buried in snow and die suffocating
That insane to literally be buried alive in a freaking avalanche then be found and dug out!! Alive!! ❤❤❤ You all are angels for doing such things and saving peoples lives. Fantastic!!!
I just read a thriller featuring snowboarders so I’m clearly an expert now. They wear transceivers. So you can pinpoint their location and know where to dig.
At least that’s what I assume they used. I’m no expert. I only read one thriller book a few days ago. 😂
They for sure did, she has an airbag which is way more expensive than an avalanche kit

It’s gotta be a hell of a thing slowly suffocating in the freezing silent dark contemplating all of your life’s choices that led up to this very moment of impending death, only to hear rescuers nearby wondering if they will ever find you and then a sudden crack of light and fresh air whooshing over your face and salvation.
U are definitely an author
No doubt.
Probably not the worst way to go IMO.
Maybe a passionate, articulate expression of something, but to claim the person must be an author is to assume you must think articulate communication is some sort of unusually exceptional witchcraft, to be marveled at by the rest of us with fully gaped mouths. The man is expressing himself, not flying around the room on a broomstick. 😂 (Also yes, they probably could be a writer, just simping.)
@@nateTheNomad23😂man...lmbaoooo ‼️
For all of our human failings, this is what we humans do in times of tragedy, help each other. Loved seeing this.
Massive respect to the ones who give thier efforts in this way. She is so lucky and her friend too. Humanity at its kindest. Thank you
So true! Angels on earth!❤
To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which trancends all understanding be with you all Amen!❤

As a skier ⛷️ I’m crying watching this!!! Hearing her say “ find my friend , find my friend “ God bless her!! ❤
But did they found her friend? They were all like 🗿
@@JesusisAlive_33 Her friend and one other person were found safely. No fatalities from this one, thank goodness.
@@IonFONE oh nice
Really thanks for the help,,they saved two lives❤
She's a good friend.
Beacons save lives. Don't go into the backcountry without one.
I wont go sledding with people who dont have at least a beacon, shovel and a probe. The beacon is for everyone's safety. Not just your own.
I've seen enough videos to say an airbag is equally as important if you want the best shot of not getting buried.
@@spencereng yes I agree, but theres people who dont want to cough up 600$ for a backpack. Like I just said, an avy bag is for your own safety. A beacon is for you and everyone else.
You must work for a beacon company. They don’t save lives, having someone on the other end is what saves lives! An inflatable vest, like the lady who loved has on is an actual meaningful measure...idiot!
@@Chihuahuauno1 avy bags do indeed help, however alot of the times the person with a bag that gets buried still ends up in a spot where if there wasnt anyone else around, they would die. As far as chances of survival, statistically beacons have a 31% higher rate of survival vs a person who only has an avy bag.. idiot
Wow. I can’t even fathom how helpless you must feel being stuck like that buried under the snow! From an avalanche that gave you no time to prepare to protect yourself from it. I’m so glad that the woman and her friend were rescued by these amazing people who put their lives on the line to help save others. Absolute heroism, I can only imagine what a desperate feeling it is to have no idea where your partner/friend may be and if they were also safe.
Thank God for saving them through these rescuers
The work you people do is so amazing you save so many people through the work you do God Bless you all❤❤❤
True heroes. Risking themselves for others. People like this are why there IS HOPE for the future of humanity. We just need to raise our children to be more caring and brave like this.
Yes indeed. 🙂
I mean it's their job
Amen!
Our only hope is in the Lord Jesus.
Yes it's their job but they risk their loves everyday, not for everyone. True heroes! ❤❤
We should all wish to have the selflessness of all the individual's involved here. From the woman more worried about her friend than herself, too the rescuers risking their lives to save others!! Fantastic!!
Not really. She pointlessly kept saying “Help me” when they already were. She should have mentioned her friend straight away.
@@icturner23Really? Would u? U can't say yes because u r not in her place, she had just been rescued from what could have been her grave.
@@icturner23it's called shock and once she snapped out of it n realized she was gonna survive she wanted her friend to be found. She was letting the rescuers there was another person in the snow. She did awesome in a stressful dangerous situation
It makes sense to me. Once she could breathe and realised she was safe it would be the next thing you think about. She didn't know if they knew there was another person so she wanted to tell them.
@@icturner23I actually wonder how aware of the real world people like you are... Shock, stress, cold, panic... all play a part as her face is initially freed from the snow.
Instead of wasting her breath with repeated "help me", she should say "thank you".
This is why avalanche bags and beepers are so important
For her to be 90% buried yelling find "my friend" ❤ If only we all had friends like her.
She yelled help 15497 times. Once she realised she is ok, she asked for friend. So dont kid yourself.
I've been on several rescues turned recovery. This person is lucky as hell. Believe it or not it's always scary digging also because last thing you want to find is a dead individual.
I'm so happy to read that they found the friend. And this woman is a true friend because she was only concerned about her friend.❤❤
You all are great hearted guys!!! Thank you all...
That’s the kind of person you want as a friend for sure. ❤ Did they find the friend? 🥺
That's what I'm wondering.
@@80bbygrl right, what happened!? I need details…
Yes they did her friend.
She's a good friend
@@SublimeThinker for sure ❤️
Always brings a tear to my eye seeing heroes like them save someone who likely only had a handful of minutes left before the reaper knocks. God bless you guys for saving them, wish I saw footage of the second person being saved.
I’m wondering if the second person was saved though these guys worked quick and lots of beeps going off but cold moves quick too
The rescuers are the real heroes 👏👏👏
Thank God for rescuers like this!!!! The hero’s we don’t always see♥️
We all need a friend like her!! ❤
No we don't. She did what Amy stranger would. She waited until she was safe and THEN told them about her friend. She simply did what any decent person would do.
BFF for sure!
@@steevehoyoufat9155 I almost drowned once. The part where she was saying, “Help me, help me...” was delirium setting in. I did the same when I almost drowned. She snapped out of it and then immediately started asking for her friend. I’d be happy to have a friend like her.
that rescuer is so calm and high funcrioning in such a hectic frightening situation.
Well done People
This is a video that should teach people the value of friendship and good people!! This is what we need to see more of online maybe not life or death situations but just people helping others without being asked, just doing it because is the right thing to do. Good people here in this video.
She was so chill the whole time 😅
I cried, always touches me dearly to see humans caring about other humans!! Thank you for sharing 🙏💞
Me too!! The powerful love for a friend. This is what Jesus tells us, to love our “neighbors” , but in her case, it is her friend. ✝️🙏🏻
These boys are true angels :)
especially when trying to hold back that ugly cry, that touches your soul? my eyes are literally pouring nonstop tears right now #FaithInHumainty "Find My Friend, Ninkaaa" and they instantly went to work
Truly shows how important that safety equipment is, trackers, inflators etc
What are inflators?? I don't snowboard
@@vickythefist7062 it’s the big orange thing, it inflates 😂 kinda like a life jacket for the snow.
My Hearts beating heavily!...God bless you Rescuers!!!❤
THANK GOD FOR their rescue....and GOD BLESS THE RESCUERS
"Save my friend, save my friend" is what she can think of. What a legend.
First words she said was help me….
Once she knew she was safe and out of immediate danger, then she started asking about her friend. Geez watch the video and stop being cringe
@@Town_Country96 it ain’t cringe G get a life
@@Maximus5775 your cringe, g
@@Town_Country96 I don’t call people cringe G you’ve also probably never been skiing or snow boarding in your life so Go be Goofy somewhere else let the athletes talk Buddy
OMG if you needed to be reminded why an avalanche kit is worth every single penny...
Well i think if you want to go off piste for more adrenaline you should be fined if you don’t have a avalanche kit
It's pretty easy to dig yourself out of being buried by an avalanche. Every skier and snowboarder should be taught how.
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war? Job 38:22-23
@@ayoolukoga9829 different kind of snow my friend
@@AnonymousGameWarden No, it absolutely is not fucking easy to “get yourself out”. Once that snow buries you, you aren’t even moving your thumb.
Brave, very strong woman, selfless and polite woman. Brave and efficient rescuers too.
Thank you for the kind and brave rescuers
My daughter was caught in an avalanche once. It was terrifying. Luckily she carried a beacon but ended up near the top of the snow when she stopped. Her boyfriend had to dig her out. He wasn’t caught in it and obviously it was horrifying for him. They are both now well trained in a avalanches and rescues.
This is why having proper avalanche gear always is good. Saved lives that day being prepared
Best proper avalanche gear is to listen avalanche warnings.
She did have proper gear. That orange thing behind her kept her from getting burried super deep in the snow. The organe pack also helps other's to locate them.
So amazing that while she is still buried and cold she is asking them to help her friend
True heroes. They saved her life.
She had on an avalanche life vest which is why she was so close to the surface. Its just she couldn't clear the snow from her face and was worried about her friend.
I'm curious why the life vest doesn't deflate after a minute to create an air pocket / snow cave.
@@JayZoop some of them do i believe
@@JayZoop snow is too dense, it would probably be dangerous if anything
@@sturlajonsson8992 The vest should expand right away as they are falling. Then after the snow comes to a standstill, it should deflate to form a cavity. Just enough to breathe.
@@JayZoop that cavity cannot hold much air though... Is there a gas exchange still through the snow to the surface? I guess definitely not with wet snow. Ok getting claustrophobic at those thoughts :D
What a sweet person asking for her friends to be found with her first breaths.
Great job rescuers
Help me was actually her first 10 words. Then find me friend.
@@ruger8412incel 🤡
How wonderful. Bless them all. It was breathtaking…
Great job rescuers!You guys saved more than 3 lives that day!!❤
She almost died. And she says “help my friend”. It’s hard to believe now a days but there are genuinely good people out there
