On January 14, at an ice fishing site in Yutian County, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, a sudden ice collapse sent multiple anglers plunging into freezing waters.

Footage captured by witnesses shows a crowded ice fishing scene with many enthusiasts drilling holes on the surface. Without warning, the ice began to crack and collapse, rapidly spreading across the area. Panicked anglers scrambled to escape, but some fell into the icy water amid the chaos. Shouts, screams, and calls for help echoed across the scene as the situation spiraled into disorder.

Emergency responders, including firefighters and medical teams, arrived promptly. Using specialized equipment, they successfully rescued all individuals from the water and provided on-site medical assistance.

Thanks to the swift rescue efforts, no lives were lost, though several victims suffered varying degrees of frostbite from prolonged exposure to icy water. They were rushed to a nearby hospital and are now in stable condition.

Authorities have attributed the incident to this year’s unusually warm winter, which weakened the ice’s thickness. With temperatures peaking at 7°C on the day, some sections of the ice had started to melt, and excessive drilling by anglers further compromised its stability.

1月14日，在河北唐山市玉田县的一处冰钓场，由于冰面突然断裂，导致多名正在冰面上钓鱼的人员落水。

据目击者拍摄的视频显示，当时冰钓场人满为患，许多钓友都在冰面上钻孔钓鱼。然而，冰面突然开始塌陷，开裂的范围越来越大。多名冰钓者手持垂钓工具迅速向水池外面撤离，但许多钓友还没反应过来就掉进了冰窟窿里，现场一片混乱，场面一度失控，尖叫声、呼救声此起彼伏。

事发后，当地消防、医疗等部门迅速赶到现场进行救援。救援人员使用专业设备将落水者救上岸，并进行紧急救治。

据了解，由于救援及时，所有落水者均被成功救起，没有造成人员伤亡。但部分落水者因长时间浸泡在冰水中，出现了不同程度的冻伤。他们被迅速送往附近医院进行进一步治疗，目前生命体征平稳。

据分析，今年是暖冬，冰层厚度可能达不到安全标准。同时，事发时当地的最高温度达到7度，导致一些冰层融化，变得脆弱。另外，钓友们在冰面上钻孔数量过多，一定程度上破坏了冰面的稳定性，大大降低了其承受能力，最终导致了事故的发生。
