On Jan. 18, a series of earthquakes sent 120 tons of snow careening into the Hotel Rigopiano at the foot of Gran Sasso mountain in central Italy and spurred Giuseppe Briganti into action. Briganti and his crew from the Italy State Police’s 11th Flight Department in Pescara spent hours airlifting victims to hospitals and bringing back supplies in a rescue helicopter.
