Rescuers in Italy said they have not found signs of life during a race against time to find up to 35 people believed to have been inside the Hotel Rigopiano when it was engulfed by an avalanche early Thursday.
Italy's Vigili del Fuoco fire and rescue service said at least three bodies have been recovered. The rescuers said they have not heard victims and sniffer dogs have not located victims. Two people who were outside the four-star hotel at the time of the avalanche survived.
