This is my favorite. No, not the Ford pickup, the truck behind it.
Guy drove out on to the lake way to late in the year, and predictably fell through.
The ice was only about 2 inches thick. The truck was about a mile from shore.
The tow truck guy took a rusted out Jeep Cherokee and cut everything off he figured he didn't need, made a boom and used a 10,000lb winch. They ended up hooking up to the submerged truck, then dragged the truck along the bottom while cutting a path in the ice until they got to an area where the ice was thick enough to attempt to lift the truck. One of the guys I work with is on the county dive team, and he attached the cable to the back of the truck. Said the guy who owned the truck wanted to know where his ball mount went. He told him it was right out there where he left his truck.
