We were stuck in Vallorcine the other side of the ridge for 4 weeks there was so much snow. We learned abt this on SKY news.

@thegrandwazoooo said very bad sentence. Nobady wouldn't to be in that situation. But I understand what he mean. Look at the Chamonix, I suppose that there is no signs of this cataclysm. Then look at the Haiti. This poor country had a huge problem with the earthquake, now the poor poeple couldn't win with illnesses. How many people and rich countries helpd them?

[ftdRaw]

@zuk178 haiti has more ngo's in it than any country in the world, Everyone is helping sometimes the countries government does not allow soldiers to come in ,as was the case in Haiti, so its up to non govt orgs to do the work,and they are there in massive numbers. That was a stupid comment,

Rich or poor a life is a life!

Are you helping any one? if not, maybe Dont Judge!

[Eryep888]

@davetheravepow yeah you're right! This guy is a f* b*!!!

[thegrandwazoooo]

nice to see it happening in the rich world for a change.

[Davetheravepow]

@thegrandwazoooo whaaat? Why would you want this to happen to anybody you sick fuck!

[thegrandwazoooo]

@Davetheravepow i wouldnt ....but if it gonna happen better in the rich world no?

[eddielamb]

@thegrandwazoooo No.

[manxspike]

@thegrandwazoooo ? im ok now cos i trained for a good job, but its easy, thumb a lift, work in a bar/restaurant/chalet, enjoy yourself!, borrow some gear! thats if you have any friends after a coment like this!

[ftdRaw]

@thegrandwazoooo bad stuff happens everywhere! that was a stupid thing to say

[ftdRaw]

I was there in 99 and it was a crazy Year... Like Agr0wat told, this year a communal building burn...the Mont blanc tunnel... very bad Year !!! And poor families... but a lot of houses were in a Dangerous zone and have been constructed in the past with more flexible laws.... Chamonix stays a very nice place where it's magic to ski.... and where you will always find a nice international community !

[MagZ1905]

I´m going to live there 3 months next year, *hoping for stabile conditions*

[crv26]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! poor people, poor city : (

[agr0twat]

I was in chamonix for the season when this happened (feb 1999) its the same year that the town hall and museum burnt down and there was the big fire in the mont blanc tunnel.

Unlucky season.

[lloydcalder]

marvin shut your mouth!

[scrumdownscott]

OI! dickhead! have you nothing better to do than slag off peoples videos that dont have any resemeblance to your limited brain scope?

This happens to be a very informative video of what happens on Mont Blanc that i missed on the news, and have now caught up on thanks to the doner! I notice you have only been a member for 3 wks, so i suggest you go and fucking produce something worth contributing before slating another peoples input that is geared towards a secific group IE mountaineers you tit!

[scrumdownscott]

good video, dont listen to that prick marvin, im a climber and visit chamonix offten to do the blanc, and its always good to get all the info you can about the peak well done!

[jeninfrance]

All because of the greed of the property developers these people died - that is why the area was given permission to build, when for centuries the locals knew not to build there, as it avalanched!

[faerthen]

It was a corrupt official who took a bribe about 40 years ago to change the avalanche zoning maps, allowing construction in infrequent--though obviously dangerous--avalanche paths.

[marvin1109]

there's nothing special about this video!!!!
