One weekend story about large siberian river...

It was one shiny March 2010 weekend . Winter is getting over, people feel happy and full of enthusiasm A group of TLC owners went to the Ob river's ice and start ice racing. But ice became thin...
Phone call: "0Come to river near the bridge, if you can! Winch, hands and heads needed!"

Fortunately nobody drowned. TLC caught on ice by rear axle. Later it broke, but we held it by 2 winches.
Someone caled snowcat from nearest ski base. But it was useless. it turned out that the lifting capacity of his crane less than 1 ton. We needed 5 tons at least.
Snowcat turned back, sun went down and we tried to catch this big fish ))

Did you manage to get him out?

 

[Lapocruiser]

Yes, finally.
The main trouble became rear axle, wich catch the ice from the water side.
We had to cut a tree and put two logs between ice and trick. So we managed to extract rear axle on to the ice surface.

Then everything was simple. Winch inch by inch, drain the water.... Go home
