A 41-year-old ice fisherman died after falling through thin ice in New York.
A witness called 911, and forest ranger Nate Laymon quickly responded, rescuing the older brother and locating the younger one.
Despite efforts to save both, the younger brother was declared dead. (Trending: Anthony Fauci Questioned About Evidence Behind COVID Restrictions)
Laymon praised the rescue team for giving the brothers a fighting chance.
“He eventually grabbed the rope and I pulled him up on the ice and I coached him to kick his feet,” Laymon said.
“I just started scanning the water. I started looking through the water to see what I could see, and I saw a red, white and black reflective coat, and I was like, yeah, that’s got to be the guy,” Laymon said.
“And then eventually I saw the words Polaris because he was wearing a snowmobile jacket,” Laymon said.
“I got a hold of the guy and brought him up to the surface,” Laymon said. “Just trying to get him out and over the ice shelf was a big problem. At that point, I was getting tired.”
“Everyone that was involved with that rescue did a fantastic job,” Laymond said.
“We all did the best we could, and we saved one, and we gave the other one a fighting chance.”
