The “Kauno švaros” tractor broke down and sank while preparing Lake Lampėdis for the artists

“Seeing that Lampėdžiai and its surroundings have long become a real ski resort, the idea arose to give more joy and skating to the virtuous. Especially since the newly built Kaunas Ice Palace has yet to open for obvious reasons, and here we can have the largest open-air skating rink.

Basically, the plan was successful: five freshly cleaned ice rinks and the route between them has already reached the first artists. There should be enough space here for everyone so that Kaunas residents can enjoy the pleasures of winter in the open air, standing on skates, – it was announced on the Facebook page of the Kaunas municipality on Tuesday afternoon.

However, according to the record, it cost more than expected. By cleaning the ice, some of the equipment was donated in an unplanned way. A vehicle crashed and sank to the bottom. The tractor was round, technically neat and watertight, so the damage to the environment is said to be minimal.

The municipality assured that the workers were prepared in advance to act according to special instructions so that they could evacuate quickly and safely in case of danger. Everything happened according to the algorithm, now the place of the disaster is about 150 meters from the shore, in the sauna and the fenced “seal” plow strip “Stop”.

“We have a very good lesson and we have already drawn the appropriate conclusions. In the future, we will only use shovels and human forces for that work.

Environmentalists are immediately informed of the situation. Special services – notified. We are currently mobilizing and preparing for the successful launch of the “drowned man” to earth and the resurrection in the coming days. You will have to answer for your good intentions and the risks you take, “the report says.

Kaunas Municipality encourages all people walking by Lake Lampėdžiai to remain vigilant and weigh potential risks wisely, to protect themselves and those around them, especially children. Also, keep a close eye on the thermometer columns, because spring is here, so climbing the ice will get more and more dangerous with each passing day.

“Before starting the work, the thickness of the ice was measured. In some places it was up to 12 inches long, and at least 8 inches tall. However, this unfortunate experience shows that this may not be enough, so we must remain vigilant! We will do our best to eliminate the accident this week.

In spring, when the ice melts and the track dredging is complete, there will definitely be no obstacles for kayakers, boat rowers, and canoes to continue training and racing. And vacationers will be able to continue enjoying a safe bath on the beach ”, announces the municipality.
