Vienna (OTS) – Christoph Feurstein will present the following contributions in “Thema” on Monday, January 15, 2024, at 9:10 p.m. on ORF 2:
Gondola crash – how safe are the ski lifts?
“I was a few gondolas behind. I felt that we were swinging up and down and then sideways and there was no lift pole nearby. Then we slid over the crashed gondola and I immediately started the emergency call chain,” says Daniel Dabernig, a former ski instructor. Reports on the gondola crash of the Acherkogelbahn cable car in Tyrol’s Oetz have been available since Thursday. An approximately 100-year-old tree fell and took two other trees with it in a chain reaction. “The reports have not yet been able to explain why this tree had such force,” says Michaela Burger from Bergbahnen Hochoetz. The Danish holidaymaker, who suffered life-threatening injuries, remains in intensive care. He was in the gondola with his two adult children and his brother. The mother of the two young adults traveled to Innsbruck to support them. Diana Weidlinger and Andrea Poschmaier ask for “Thema”: How safe are ski lifts and what consequences do those responsible draw?
Jack Unterweger – one of the biggest criminal cases in Austria
“Jack Unterweger was the most manipulative person I have ever encountered,” says Ernst Geiger. Even 30 years following his suicide in the cell, the woman murderer does not leave the retired chief investigator indifferent. Hofrat Geiger has now written the novel “Murderer” in which he retells the spectacular case. Jack Unterweger was charged with eleven murders of prostitutes in the early 1990s. At that time he was considered a prime example of successful rehabilitation. The port writer had previously served 16 years in prison for the brutal murder of a woman. But none of this has stopped numerous women from worshiping him and having affairs with him. “He was a person full of contradictions, actually incomprehensible in his range,” says his last lover, the criminal lawyer Astrid Wagner, in the “Thema” interview with Eva Kordesch.
A family of researchers in the rainforest
What does a biologist do when his children keep asking him:
“What are you actually doing in the jungle and what’s cool regarding it?” Robert Schabetsberger took his family to the remote crater lake Lohanimanandriana in the rainforest of Madagascar. There he looks for microscopic freshwater organisms. Living beings that have not yet been scientifically recorded and identified. The family hikes through the rainforest, climbs the third highest mountain in Madagascar, observes rare lemurs that are on the verge of extinction, and sees humpback whale cows and their newborn calves in the sea. The biologist Robert Schabetsberger brought a very personal travel report regarding the threatened island paradise for “Thema”.
