The
readers of my post of February 5th Vallée Blanche by the slopes of "Le Rognon” may understand
how serious this morning’s event is felt to be locally. In the second picture of that post you can
see that the top “rocket” on the Aiguille du Midi is telecoms equipment. Well early
this morning it was pulled out of its stand by somebody in a chopper. None of the contacted authorities were claiming maintenance or any other reason to lift it off. A crew
that happened to be filming up there got below shot of the chopper leaving with
it, and in the commotion, hitting the no-name aiguille just north of the aiguille
du midi. There is a search out for it now and I’ll get you the full story as
soon as I find out more.
