Three males who were walking on the frozen New York's Jamaica Bay on Friday when they fell in and they needed to be rescued. Thank goodness that the New York City Fire Department as well as the New York Police Department (NYPD) aerial unit came with scuba equipment from a helicopter using a rope to rescue the three 22 year old males out of the icy lake before taking by an ambulance to a local hospital. The three men were alert and conscious when they were rescued by the NYYD aerial unit. Hopefully the three men have learned a lesson to be careful walking on an icy surface.

The rescuers did have to rescue the three males pretty fast to save their lives.

How frightening that must have been for them. They were so lucky to have been rescued. A huge lesson to learn.

Thank God they were found and are OK. That would be a nightmare for me to be that cold. I just saw a video of a car doing donuts on ice and fell in, I don't know if they are ok or not.
