Fishing on a frozen lake near Longview turned frightening for two men in their 70s who were rushed to hospital after falling through the ice yesterday.

At 12:30 p.m., Foothills Regional EMS and fire crews from Longview, Black Diamond and High River were called to Chain Lakes, 95 km south of Calgary, after the pair became submerged in the icy water about six metres from the shore while fishing.

When help arrived, the men were waiting on the shore of the lake, which was almost entirely frozen. One man was in serious condition, while the other was in fair condition.

Hope they're ok. Ice is pretty rotton out there guys. Be safe.

HOW many of you would go out on ice "THIS TIME OF YEAR"

Might as well try walking on a slurpee.

As Red would say "Dumba*s".

Is 70 their age or combined IQ's?
