Ua paʻi ka nui o ka avalanche i ka hale hoʻokipa ʻo 'Gora Otdelnaya' (Separate Mountain) ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Rūkia Arctic o Norilsk, e uhaʻi ana i kekahi mau hale hoʻokipa e hoʻokipa ana i nā skiers, i ka hopena o ka Pōʻalima.

ʻO ka hanana i hoʻoulu i kahi hana hoʻopakele nui i ka pō, kahi i komo ai ma mua o 240 mau limahana pilikia a me nā mea manawaleʻa, a me kekahi mau kaʻa like ʻole 30. Ua paʻakikī ka hana e nā kūlana o ka wā, ka hau nui, a me nā makani kiʻekiʻe ma ia wahi, ua ʻōlelo ʻia e ke Kuhina Emergencies ʻo Rūsia.

Hōʻike nā kiʻi mai kahi hiʻohiʻona i ka poʻe hoʻopakele e ʻeli ana i ka hau i ka pō, me ka ʻike ʻia o nā ʻili o nā hale i ʻoki ʻia ma hope.

Ua hiki i nā mea hoʻopakele ke hoʻokuʻu i kahi keikikāne 14 makahiki mai lalo o ka hau. ʻO ka ʻōpio, ka mea i loaʻa i ka hau a me nā ʻeha ʻē aʻe, ua mālama ʻia i ka haukapila. ʻEkolu mau kānaka ʻē aʻe - ʻelua mau mākua a me kahi keiki, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo ia ka ʻohana o ke keiki ʻeha - ua pepehi ʻia e ka avalanche. Ua hiki i nā limahana pilikia ke hoʻihoʻi i ko lākou mau kino a ua haʻi ʻia ka hana hoʻopakele ua pau, me ka poʻe a pau o ia wahi i helu ʻia.
