Workers found themselves trapped in ice in the middle of a river in Chukotka.
The workers returned home after eight months of shifts in the village of Komsomolsky in Chukotka. On the way to the airport, they crossed a frozen river on an SUV, but about 150 km before Pavek, the car fell through the ice. The men found themselves in freezing water and spent about 12 hours there before being rescued.
While waiting, one of the shift workers recorded an emotional appeal to loved ones:
"If I die, I will raise my son, we are in the middle of the river, the ice has broken. ".
After the rescue, the victims are treated at home for frostbite. The workers were paid for tickets to Novosibirsk, where their families were waiting for them, after they finished their shift.
