7News story on Ice Recovery on the lake

[KTO]

Webmaster: please remove this post!

I’ve been a member of this forum for 14 years and I was just trying to post a fun, casual story of a different side of what happens at the lake.

Apparently the internet trolls know better than I do.

Also, for those who keep saying the anchor doesn’t know anything: I wrote that story. She voiced it for me. For what it’s worth:

-I’m a diver (not recovery, recreationally)
-I personally know several recovery/salvage divers.
-I used to live at the lake full time.

I just wish I could be as good at my job as the rest of you are!

You did nothing wrong posting what happens on the Lake.
I can't understand why some members are critizing you but I for one thank you for taking the time to tell us about it.

Just a theory--

Driving your SUV on the lake is an awesome thing to do, that to many casual observers would appear to be completely idiotic in about a half dozen ways. (I'm not saying it is actually idiotic--I leave it to readers to decide for themselves.)

KTO's story/post reminds many on both sides of the question of why this practice appears to be nuts.

People who enjoy driving on the lake recognize that if there's lots of publicity about SUVs going through the ice, their pastime may be curbed by the authorities. Hence the anger at Channel 7.

I've enjoyed the thread

Sorry, but your OP says....

"Jeep falls through the ice in Meredith and you see the whole recovery process on video. "

There were a few clips of a vehicle below water.... that's it

If you are incapable of seeing the "sensationalism" in that....

Yeahhhh, OP...FAKE NEWS!!! Take your media manipulation propaganda machine somewhere else. I'm so sick and tired of Big lake-recovery trying to swindle me outta my hard-earned cash.

Seriously, people, y'all can be pretty pathetic.
