Russia Ice Fisherman
« on: Mar 10, 2008, 07:32 AM »
Just saw on the news this morning 758 people ice fishing in Russia had to be rescued. They were fishing when a piece broke off and floated away. If I hear any more about it I'll post it up.

KHABAROVSK, Russia, March 9 (UPI) -- The Russian Ministry for Emergencies has confirmed as many as 758 fishermen were rescued Sunday from an ice floe in the Sea of Okhotsk.

Using an Mi-8 helicopter owned by the Aviashelf Co., rescuers managed to airlift 350 of the trapped anglers to shore, while rescuers in motorboats freed the remaining fishermen, ITAR-TASS said.

While it is believed all of those trapped on the ice have been rescued, emergency officials reportedly were scanning the area for any remaining individuals.

The icy rescue was necessary after the ice floe broke away from shore Sunday. The large chunk of ice then began to drift away from the coast of the island of Sakhalin.

ITAR-TASS said the incident occurred despite repeated warnings in the region that ice breakaways could occur.


 Thats a lot of ice ficherman and a really big hunk of ice

MN,
 You can cast a new TV show based on this. More believable than lost, for me any way.

The report stated that the incident happened despite repeated warnings...  Said one to the other afterward: "The fishing was good and we got a free ride in a helicoptor with our gear, no problem." The guy with the vodka cache must have ruled on that ice flow.
