Amazing Ice Rescue of Man Walking Across Lake St. Clair

A U-S Coast Guard crew on patrol in Lake St. Clair off the shores of Detroit, Michigan never expected to see what they encountered.  It was a man walking across the ice miles from shore in single digit temperatures with a wind chill below zero.  He was wearing only light clothing, didn't have a flotation device and had no form of communication.

The man told Coast Guardsmen he intended to walk the 200 miles from Detroit to Toronto and was taking a shortcut across the lake.  He would never have made it across the lake.  He was showing signs of delirium and was treated aboard the Coast Guard cutter.
