Blizzard blocks Alpine rescue at Mont Blanc summit
Blizzard winds and heavy snow trapped two climbers, Jean Vircendon and Francois Henry, 23 and 24, at 12,000 feet on Mont Blanc. A damaged helicopter crash and ground rescue attempts failed as night fell, with rescue teams unable to reach the stranded men despite New Year's Eve efforts and top Alpine guides offering help.
