ya i heard about that 2 kids made it out of the water and the other 2 dads or something like that did not. wonder how much ice?<BR>30 feet of water?

The 2 boys went out the back window and into the box and jumped on the ice and didn't even get wet. There were people who saw it go threw and didn't even go over to help and that is pretty sad, what kind of people can they be.

i am curious where it happened. i had heard stoney point? also and mostly, what was the malfunction. current? crack in the ice? did they drive into a pressure ridge? i find it hard to believe they just fell through 30+ inches of solid ice. i feel real bad for those boys and there family's. what a terrible ordeal.---jigglestick---

It was a pressure ridge about a 1 1/2 miles of stoney point at 11:00 am

My prayers go to thefriends and family. I wish someone could have helped these people but NO ONE should try unless they know they are safe. Don't complicate a complicated matter. Be there for the survivors, encourage them to come away. Too many would be recuers become the victims. As an EMT and FireFighter I know, we hear it all the time. If the bystanders didn't know what to do, then they did right by staying away, but hopefully went or called for help. Play it safe.
