The emergency services went out to the Neue Donau in Vienna several times on Friday and Saturday to rescue people who had fallen into the ice. On Friday a person had to be pulled out of the water, and on Saturday a 33-year-old man and his eleven-year-old son collapsed into the water, as reported by wien.orf.at, among others. They had tried to cross the surface-frozen river in Vienna. The two were taken to the hospital suffering from hypothermia. Photos clearly show that only parts of the river were actually frozen.
