New words I learned today: Debris (s不发音)

The first thing this morning searchers're back in the deep snow at the foot of Boulder mountain BC, making sure they haven’t missed any victims in Saturday’s avalanche. Two man from Alberta died in the slide, many more had to be rescue from beneath of snow. Investigators are trying to piece together what happened on mountain side. The CBC’s Lyndsay Duncombe is near by Revelstoke. Lyndsay.


Carole, right now just a few moments ago, we’re seeing the last of the snow machines being pulled off the boulder mountain. The RCMP helicopter bringing it to the place where people will collect them. In order to pick up the last 20, so machines that remaining, people will have to go with the police, as scored to claim their machine. That’s to avoid anyone are going and taking their machines on their own. Still very dangerous there as they go through now. They also kind of begin their sort of final search of the area to make sure there are no more victims until they get that debris out of the way. Clear the now or any blood or anything like that so they can go through. Then 5 teams of sniffed dogs will go through to make sure one last time there are no people on that mountain. It is expected that everyone is counted for. But this is the final last check. We do know that two people have died and another 30 are injured. It’s not expectable to see any more victims, but those dogs are up there just double checking to make sure.

Any reaction from the families of the victims, Lyndsay?

Well, one of the victims’ was there to speak to our colleagues in CBC radio today. And she is frustrated and angry as you can imagining. She’s saying that the organizer of this event have to take some responsibility and there should be more regulations and warning should be better communicated to participants. This family is from Alberta, especially a lot of these people are from out of town. She wanted better posting, so people could real have a greater sense of what they were getting into. And there are lots of calls today for better regulation out of the back country. For example, this family, this women who lost her husband says you know when we go quartering, we have to have a license and that’s not the case with the snowmobile here in British Columbia. So as the legislator tried to look to see if it is possible, it’s also a very vast area and there some calls from snowmobile committee saying even if there were regulations, there would be a difficult chance trying to enforce them. All of those questions being asked, in the sort of wake up of this horrible tragedy.
