The Brown County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that the 27 stranded people spent roughly 90 minutes adrift before being rescued.
The agency added that a potential culprit for the “destabilization of the ice” may have been a barge traveling through the bay. A man on his first ice fishing expedition told local outlet WLUK-TV that the noise of the ice shove’s breakage sounded like a gun being fired. “We thought it was interesting, got out of our shanty, took a look and people were yelling on the ice, ‘We’re separating,’” he said.
