Well that video was uploaded to YouTube in 2013 almost 5 years ago so if this happened in Minnesota last fall this isn't actual footage of it.

Ice is water and water can destroy anything man builds.

It happens up here all the time in the spring mostly. Winds blow across the water just as the ice is breaking up after the winter or a thaw. The wind blows the water like normal but it also pushes the coastal ice up onto shore. I've seen vids that show the ice breaking down doors and knocking over sheds and stuff. It moves faster as the wind speed increases.

At our summer place in Michigan, if the wind direction is just right (wrong) during the spring thaw, the pilings out in front of our dock get snapped off like matchsticks.
They are beefy — 15-20” diameter logs, 40 feet long, driven 25 feet into the lake bottom. The relentless pressure of the ice either tips them over or snaps them off.
