You do realize that according to the article the wife was also in on it and helped the friends dig the hole, and later that night proceeded to lead herself and her husband into the hole to "surprise" him. Doesn't make much sense, and admittedly I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish, but the wife is every bit as responsible for her own and her husband's death as the friends if not even more so. All of this is assuming the media has all their facts straight, which they possibly do not.

Holy shit... so they wait 45 minutes before helping or what? what a retarded idea and retardation resulted in death.. Really sad


You'd need a spade aswell btw, the sand fell on top of them.


They said the tools were still nearby. Your not really supposed to help people who have fallen and could have neck injuries, but I think when your friends are head first buried in sand, thats an exception. You should do everything in your power (if your trained in CPR) to make sure that they can breath. That being said, they were without oxygen (probably) for almost an hour before rescue workers were even called, then it took another hour for them to be pulled out. They were probably dead when their friends called for help.

If I was one of them though, and saw my friends in the hole like that, you can sure as hell bet that I would be digging them out with my bare hands if I had to. I wasn't there though, so I'm not gonna judge them that harshly and say they deserve to be treated like murderers. Just a really confusing and sad story, we really need more information to make judgments.

If someone had actually watched them fall in, they probably would be alive.

Wow, would they have even thought it was funny if the prank went off as intended? i mean they could get hurt really badly even if all went as planned. Retards.

Thank god i watched mythbusters.

What were their friends thinking? I assume the friends thought that the couple were going to fall into the hole and realize that escape wasn't possible and had decided to wait until help had arrived. Maybe under the stars the husband would look into he eyes of his wife and see everything he had ever wanted in them. And the wife finally overcoming her anxiety, able to express her heart felt love for her husband...


On a more serious note, I hope people will think of the consequences (and plan accordingly) before they do something like this again.
My wishes are to the family of the deceased.

Dude that made me feel even worse....Probably not the friends' intentions, but just thinking like that is like from some anime shit. Would have been wonderful if that worked somehow. Bah what a bad prank =/

Though I also feel sorry for the friends that didn't know what they were doing, and this is a rather innocent thing going horribly wrong, I've never been ok with practical jokes. I'm not saying this is why (people obviously don't die all the time from them) but people do get hurt.

that's just ridiculous...2.5m deep hole? how do you even get out of there


Really not as deep as it sounds. I'm 6'4, with a reach of over 8 feet. 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.

I'd imagine climbing out of a sand hole to be extremely difficult

I don't see why the prank was that stupid It seems like a good idea to me. Have a couple fall into a 8 foot hole which causes a short period of fear. They look around and see a ladder, know their friends did it, laugh about it, and then it turns into a romantic moment. It's too bad that it ended so badly I'm sure the friends will feel horrible for the rest of their lives.

I'm not sure why people are acting like an 8 foot hole is that massive... also it was 8 foot square... seriously I don't even fucking understand how they died, it seems the friends were careful about it. Also people are acting ridiculous saying this shit is ridiculous, I find most of these posts hypocritical saying how ridiculous / retarded the prank was. Since it really isn't.

The issue comes when you can't predict how the victims will fall in the whole. In theory, it is okay because they land feet first and freak out. In practice, the fall is long enough so that when they only step in with one foot, they rotate around and land head first. Idiots.

How is the fact that they both died insufficient evidence for you that it was an extremely dangerous prank? Are you really this stupid or just trolling hard? You also don't seem to understand the definition of "hypocritical".
