Today’s Weather Trivia:
16 December 2005: Two women survived a deadly drop when their SUV slipped off a bridge and catapulted into an icy river along Winnipeg's (MB) ring road. Their vehicle fell 10 m onto an ice-covered section of the Assiniboine River, just missing open water. Although they landed on solid ice, the impact weakened the ice and made rescue difficult. – Excerpt from 'The Canadian Weather Trivia Calendar' by David Phillips. © Environment Canada
