"122 Fishermen Rescued from Ice Floe on Minnesota's Upper Red Lake"
TL;DR
Over 100 ice fishers were rescued from a detached ice floe on Upper Red Lake in Minnesota. The group was stranded when the ice broke away from the shore, creating a 30-foot gap of open water. While no one initially fell in, four individuals ended up in the water during a makeshift rescue attempt but were safely returned to the floe. After approximately two and a half hours, all 122 people were evacuated without injuries. The incident occurred amidst warnings from state officials about unusually thin ice this season.
