Chain reaction panic on thin ice Orange News (December 31st, 2012)

Pre Questions
What do you think is about to happen?

The Original Article
A chain reaction panic saw nearly a dozen people fall through thin ice into a US lake.
The desperate cries for help began when one man on a sledging excursion in Wrightwood, California, fell through the ice.
Others frantically tried to rescue him, but one-by-one they plunged into the icy water themselves.
Within five minutes from the first crack, nearly a dozen people were fighting for their lives.
It took close to ten minutes, but bystanders helped pull everyone to shore. Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured.



Easy Version
A man fell through thin ice on a lake in California. He yelled for help. Somebody went to help him. That person fell in the freezing water too. Other people tried to rescue them. But many of them fell in too. It took about 10 minutes to pull everyone out of the water. Luckily, no-one was seriously injured.
