Well it's still dangerous I see what your doing here  Sure telling them beforehand ruins the surprise but they would have still lived. If they dug a hole 1.5 meters deep and 4 meters in diameter nothing would have gone wrong, then it would not have been dangerous and you didn't have to inform those you are about to prank. that's basically my point  | ||

Sand is very volatile and collapses when stuff starts moving. It's also very fine so ends up clogging your longues. that's what happened :'( | ||

I could likely grab the edge of the hole while standing. Even if these people were like 5'6 or something, they should be able to jump and grab the edge. Besides, one of them should of easily been capable of lifting the other up so they could grab the edge. The article really isn't clear, but I would assume the walls caved in or something. I don't understand why, if your going to do a ridiculous prank like this, you wouldn't be there watching or something. Unfortunate event, but as the saying goes: shit happens. | ||

Who wants to fall into a 2.5m deep hole on their birthday? It's not a prank, it's not even funny or clever This should be manslaughter | ||

Unfortunate event, but as the saying goes: shit happens. can't really grab onto sand :S especially when you have to jump to reach, 6"4 is extremely tall for an asian. i agree with you that it seems the hole collapsed as soon as they fell in. horrible :S as another poster mentioned 2.4x2.4x2.5m hole of sand is extremely heavy, around 1500+ s.g. that's 21 tonnes....how no one noticed and said anything is amazing.. edit: again, as mentioned above, does this constitute as manslaughter? | ||
