Live, Local, Ice Breaking

For those who aren't aware, I work at a fox affiliate TV station in Milwaukee as an operations engineer. This happened to our CBS affiliate in town. This could have happened to anyone who wasn't familiar with the lake. I also drive one of these for our station. The van and equipment is a total loss, as one of these cost around $250,000.00.

Whoah

Those vans are pretty heavy, no way would I drive one over ice.

Re: Live, Local, Ice Breaking

I wonder how the driver got out? It looks like the windows are closed, and the ice would keep the doors from opening. Do you know how he got out III? He's lucky to be alive!

First, it was a she. I don't know how she got out. Rumor has it that she got suspended for a couple of days. She's been working there for only a few months.
