Missouri River Ice Jam Demolition

BISMARCK, N.D. - Demolition crews blasted chunks of ice near a large ice jam in the Missouri River March 25, 2009, in an effort to open a channel so that water can be released downstream. Water backing up behind the ice jam has forced the evacuation of about 1,700 people from low-lying areas in North Dakota's capital. (Coast Guard video/Petty Officer 3rd Class Erik Swanson)

Those Helicopters are landing on the ice? You know how much these things weigh that is bold.

They did it the hard way - an assault broacher would be faster and oh so much cooler ua-cam.com/video/4Wob2ryCfhc/v-deo.html

That was pointless.
Also saying "I got that on video" is annoying.
We can see that it's one video.
This is UA-cam.
