He Fell Through the Ice-12 Minutes That Should Have Killed Him

Adrenaline and calculated calm: a man falls through three-inch ice into 34°F water at 30 mph, survives alone through a Minnesota winter because of choices made in the first 12 minutes-what did he do that kept him alive?

In this episode, we tell the sequence of events from a February morning when a snowmobile broke through Pell Lake's ice to the July discovery that reopened the case. You will hear how those first minutes shaped an impossible survival and what remained unanswered when the machine surfaced in summer.

Person: Carl Christensen
Date: February 9, 2014
Location: Pell Lake, northern Minnesota
Temperature at incident: 14°F air, wind chill below -30°F, water 34°F
Land size: 260 acres

- The ice at the eastern margin of Pell Lake was three inches thick over an underwater spring with water at 39°F.
- Carl was traveling at 30 miles per hour when the ice gave way and he was submerged for 4-5 seconds.
- The snowmobile sank to rest eight feet below the surface with an orange dry bag still strapped to the rear platform.
- The orange dry bag contained a down sleeping bag, a length of rope, and an emergency kit with a space blanket and a lighter.
- The snowmobile's registration led investigators in July to a ranch outside Ely where Carl, who had been missing for five months, answered the phone and said he was home.
