Gallery previewAuthorities resumed searching this morning for two missing teenagers thought to have fallen through the ice into a northern New Jersey lake.

Clyde Schimanski Jr. told the Star-Ledger today that his son, Clyde Schimanski III, was one of the boys who fell through the ice. The boys had been told not to ride their bicycles on the ice, but ignored the warning, he told the newspaper.

"Imagine screaming and knowing you're going to die," Schimanski said. "He died a horrible death."

Morris County First Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Zelante said the situation was now a recovery operation, the Star-Ledger reported.

Police received reports of screams for help coming from Budd Lake in Mount Olive Township around 6:20 p.m. Monday.

Acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp said two residents went out on a boat, but failed to find anyone.

Knapp said the parents of two teenage boys were notified their children are missing.

Rescuers broke through more than 100 feet of ice and a New Jersey State Police helicopter illuminated the scene before the search was called off.
