A mass rescue was conducted Sunday afternoon near Catawba after 18 people were stranded on the ice.
CATAWBA, Ohio — A mass rescue was conducted Sunday afternoon on Lake Erie after 18 people were stranded on the ice.
Once on scene, the helicopter hoisted seven people from the ice, the Coast Guard airboat rescued four people and the Good Samaritan with an airboat rescued the remaining seven people. Petty Officer 2nd Class Robert Morse served as the coxswain of the Coast Guard's airboat during the rescue. Less than two weeks ago, the Coast Guard outpost in Marblehead issued a warning about venturing out on thin ice. Even then, those crews were already seeing areas with some cracking and shifting ice, and a spokesperson brought up the issues for those using snowmobiles and ATVs on the ice.
