- Description:On January 3, 2024, a routine ice fishing expedition on Gorky Reservoir in the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia turned into a perilous situation as the ice suddenly began to crack and disperse. The incident, suspected to be linked to a change in water discharge from the hydroelectric power station, led to a swift evacuation of the fishermen. One man found himself immersed in the frigid waters but was fortunate to be rescued by quick-acting eyewitnesses. Another individual fell through the ice near the shore, but thankfully, no medical assistance was required as all participants managed to reach safety.
