A fisherman from Ukraine has come up with a creative way to save a boy floating on a block of ice in the middle of a river. Richard Gorda cast out his fishing rod with a weight on it with such accuracy that he was able to reel the boy back in to safety. The air temperature in Kyiv hovers around 0C, so a swim in the ice-cold water could end badly for the boy, whose piece of ice got carried dozens of meters away from the bank. The unusual rescue operation worked perfectly as the boy was seen stepping from the ice piece to the bank without even getting his feet wet
