Maybe It Was A Falling-In Instead
An entire police squad had to be rescued from a freezing lake in Hungary after an officer tried to chase a robber across ice. Policewoman Ani Kosut fell through ice in Szigliget in the west of the country. Passers-by called other police but as they tried to fish her out, they fell in as well and more officers had to be called. Thirty policemen ended up in the freezing waters before a team of fire fighters finally dragged them all to safety. The robber escaped.
FOOTNOTE: Time to break the ice.
Keystone Kops music would have fit the situation quite well.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Jan's comment (I can't top that one!).

THIRTY POLICEMEN ENDED UP IN THE WATER?
ReplyDeleteI'm speechless.
And that doesn't happen often. Believe me.
I guess it does speak volumes about "never leave a man behind."
Note to self start crime wave in hungary.

ReplyDeleteGosh, sometimes it might be better to let a robber go i guess.
ReplyDeleteRemarkable story!
ReplyDeleteThat's a hard days work for everyone!
ReplyDeleteCop Freeze... while robber escapes the heat.. :O)
ReplyDeleteDavid, I envision you with a staff of global informants lurking on street corners in search of these juicy tidbits.
ReplyDeleteKeystone cops if you ask me. Bwahahah. Have a great weekend David. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my....I think it is so odd the robber got away in all that mess. LOL
ReplyDeleteHow easily could this have ended in tragedy! Still, unbelievable, that people who leave at a lake that freezes over in winter, were not more educated about the danger of thin ice.
ReplyDeleteConcerning the clever folks of Dracula County, their actions remind me very much of the tales of the people of Schilda, the "Schildbürger". One of these tells the story of the tree trunks that were too long to be transported through the town gate. They tore the city wall down, and carried the trunks through. Only when the trunks were all in town, did they realize that they could have carried them in easily if only they had turned they trunks around: Out went the trunks, the walls were rebuilt, and the trunks carried back in the way they were supposed to be from the beginning.
These Schilda tales from Germany go back to the 16th Century.
I bet they got the cold shoulder at work! ;)
