HOF44 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Did you read the comments at the bottom. This must happen yearly. People are calling them knuckleheads and saying they should pay for the rescue themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenaa Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 That's nothing. I hear that way up north they actuall build, shudder, roads over frozen lakes. Apparently this years ice was exceptionally thick, Global warming anyone?, and many more people were out on the ice. The winds at 35 MPH contributed to the ice breaking away. Who would want to be on a frozen lake in 35 MPH winds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
