happened...but helicopters have been deployed to rescue the passengers who are
stranded near Europe’s highest mountain, the Mont Blanc...
While speaking on rescue mission, a spokesman for the local gendarmerie
police said: ‘We will evacuate passengers by air, with police helicopters but
also private ones called in by local authorities.’
