Jesus don't teach common sense.
Banning sand is a must now.
Initially a shocking tragedy…. Until you realize they dug a ten foot hole in on themselves.
I’m a landscaper and was installing a 300 pound rock. I got in the hole with it. Don’t ever do that. I started digging. If it had fallen over, I would be dead.
The crabby retired Navy homeowner saw me doing it and ordered me out of that hole. He saved my life. Afterwards I realized how stupid a death that might have been.
Why dig a 10 feet hole?
Im just happy to build a small sand castle on the sand surface.
Rest in peace young man. You are with the Lord now.
Why dig so deep what’s the point ?
Never knew this was possible wtf
What are they digging 6feet sand for ? What fun is that? so sad 😞
Why the f*** would you dig a hole that deep in the beach? Trying to make a huge castle or break a Guinness world record?
People ACTUALLY go to the beach and dig holes. I can understand a child digging a small hole. WTF even makes u want to dig down that far in sand? People are sad af
Sand crabs know to not dig past 4 feet deep.
where were their parents???
This was the best detailed video I've seen on this tragedy.
Who digs a 10ft hole???

Such thing I have never heard to be buried in sand. I always said teens have too much on their hands.
Teens should have other occupations first of all praying to Almirhy God, reading, playing music, acting in a theater playing sports but not dum things like chooking, dum games etc. WHERE ARE THE PARENTS IF THEY DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? I HAVE A 21 YEAR-OLD RACED IN A HOMELESS SHELTER, I TAUGHT HIM PIANO WHEN HE WAS A KID TODAY HE IS AT BAYLOR UNIVERSITY IN TEXAS AN ORGAN MAJOR.HE EVEN GRADUATED AS A VALEDICTORIAN OF LAGUARDIA HIGHSCHOOL NY. AS A SINGLE MOTHER WITH NO SUPPORT I NEEDED SOMEHOW TO EDUCATE HIM.EVEN POOR BUT HONNEST.
MY DERPLY CONDOLENCES FOR THIS TEEN BOY'S FAMILY AND RIP TO HIM. HE IS BY GOD NOW.
PLEASE PARENTS WATCH OUT OVER UR KIDS. THEY ARE NOT ADULT YET.IN EUROPE THEY WILL BE BUT NOT IN USA…SORRY
Well that's the kids fault. I can promise I never dug a whole this deep as a kid visiting the beach.
Y would anyone build a sand hole?
Nature always takes the ones that are not that smart or weak. I’m sure some liberal will be screaming for signs all over the beaches warning not to dig holes. Get rid of the safety signs and you will get rid of the morons. It’s natures way.
What happened with just building a sandcastle
Sorry. Please don't dig your own grave. Stop doing that. So sorry. Please be wise guys.
