Image description

The Gotthard express train between Ambri and Airolo ran into the airport in April 1951, when the locomotive, baggage car and dining car was derailed. The head of the kitchen died and two employees were seriously injured. Fifty years ago, in January and February 1951, avalanches thundered down in various regions of the Swiss Alps, causing death and devastation. It was the prelude to a series of catastrophes that would go down in history as the 'avalanche winter 1950/51'. A total of 98 people lost their lives in the United Kingdom at the time.
