Anyone else heard about this? Talk about scary. I would be more angry about losing my vehicle, shanty, and gear.

The above link has about 30 minutes worth of video showing the rescue as it happened friday afternoon. 19 guys were stranded on the flow that broke off of the Crane Creek to Davis Besse Area. Apparently the flow was about 10 miles long and moved about 1 mile off shore before all the guys were rescued. The one video shows a three wheeler flipped upside floating with its tires up and the cooler and buckets floating next to the three wheeler. They never said if the guy riding the vehicle was rescued or if anyone even knew if he was ok?? As far as they know, nobody went into the water and everyone was rescued as there were no calls for a missing person. Even from the helicoptor view, the ice that the guys were on looked like it was full of chunks.

THe area where the crack occurred actually had 8" of ice!
