Video: Fishermen run for their lives as ice sheet breaks

Hundreds of Russian anglers scrambled for their lives as an ice sheet broke apart beneath their feet. The lake in Magadan Oblast in northeast Russia snapped and widened so quickly that some fishermen are still trying to cross as the video ends. In the footage, originally posted by ren.tv, a man can be heard saying,"Hurry up! The ice has started moving, otherwise you'll be trapped on the ice floe," as reported by the Mirror. Russian media reported that all the fisherman were eventually rescued.
