Trapped Horse Airlifted To Safety In Latina, Italy

This footage was filmed and produced 25 June 2023. The firefighters rescued a horse that ended up in a natural cavity 4 meters deep in Latina, Italy. This is the moment a firefighter helicopter plucks a horse to safety from a hillside ravine in a delicate airlift rescue. The horse had fallen down the 13-foot rocky gap in the Ambrifi area of Lenola, a town in the Lazio region of central Italy on Sunday, 25th June, but the gap was too tight for it to scramble back up. Footage of the rescue shows the horse in a harness in the four-metre (13-foot) deep hole with a cover over its eyes to keep it calm as it is winched into the air. Gradually firefighters clear the sides of the gap and fly the horse out and back to the safety of a nearby field. The crew of the Drago VF140 together with the team of the Terracina detachment took care of the recovery, carried out in Lenola in the Ambrifi area
