A guy at South Beach casino.

Not saying it didn't happen but if anyone finds a more reputable source than a guy at the casino please supply us with a link. I'm thinking it may be a half truth at this point in time and went through at a pressure ridge or the edge of a stress crack which is a big difference from falling through the ice.

I am indisposed at the moment but if no one can find the info, I'll try to later.

Thanks,

Svengalli

He was fishing at the time the truck went thru. Just the box of the the truck was above the surface!

What more do you want?

Exactly what you gave me in your very next post, another site with corroborating reports and a photo. Thank you.

Was it right after the break? most years there is a large crack in that area.

Is it possible for someone to post a pic here on this site?

oldccm · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 02:38 PM »

I was there today and yup he went thru, one of the stories was he was following another truck and broke thru and had to smash the rear window to get out but made it out safe. They say he broke thru around 8am which is scary cause we drove over that exact same spot an hour before. When we drove by the truck all we could see was the box and when the tow truck tried to pull it out it sank further into the water. A friend of mine left before us and called us to tell us that a truck broke thru and that a 6 inch crack was forming we packed up and left right away and when we drove over the crack (which was tough to see) it was at least 8 to 10 inches.
Poor fishing today my friend caught 3 Wally's and my nephew caught a Medium sized Pike.

Geez, crappy day for that dude

. Hope they are all right $:-\$ . When the temperature drops drastically it is expected that cracks will open up due to shrinkage of the ice sheet. Cracks will fill with water and freeze over. Once it warms again the ice sheet will expand, pushing outward resulting in the common "pressure ridges" we all encounter out there. These drastic temperature swings are most common later in the winter when ice is 3 plus feet thick. All that frazzle stuff is spooky as well.

They just showed the truck on CTV news.. although they said the truck fell through due to thin ice which isnt true and they said it was at traverse bay

Looks like 6 guys standing there at least 1000 lbs.. mini excavator must weigh 3 tons. Tilt deck truck gonna be 4 -5 tons. Is the ice that thin? or did the guy drive into a crack.......

HighlandGlen Guide · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 08:19 PM »

i was thinking the same parchland! cant be too concerned about weight on the ice

reel · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 27, 2011, 08:25 PM »

Hurricane lifted the truck out with a large excavator. The tilt truck and the Bobcat thing just could not do it.
