Two young men fell through thin ice on a Montreal River Thursday afternoon, with one now safe in hospital, and the others still missing. The incident happened around 2.35 pm in the stage Geneva district on the Prairies River near the Jacques Bizarre Bridge after the pair. Ventured out on the unstable surface, emergency crews rushed one man to the hospital where he arrived conscious, and officials now say his life is no longer in danger. A major search is underway for the second man, involving Montreal police, firefighters, a water patrol boat, and even a drone scanning the area along, with teens checking the river banks. Police believe it was a pure accident with no crime involved, and they're talking to witnesses while keeping the men's identities private as efforts.
