The idea is to stay calm (which might be easier said than done), lean back and spread out to spread your weight more evenly and wait until you float back up to the surface. To survive a fall into dry quicksand, you need outside help as quickly as possible, but what if you find yourself in some wet quicksand, not drowning, but stuck? You need to wiggle your leg a little in order to introduce water to the sand around your feet to liquefy the sand again. Then as they sucked the grain out with an industrial vacuum, the grain couldn’t fall more tightly around him, and he survived. They lowered a cylinder over the man’s body. The firefighters did come up with a clever solution, though. But soon he was experiencing agonising chest pain and the doctor developed an asthma attack brought on by the dust. Each time he exhaled, the volume of his chest reduced, causing grain to rush to fill the gap and making it progressively harder for him to breathe.Ī doctor was lowered down on a rope to give him oxygen and a harness was placed around the man’s chest. By the time the firefighters were able to establish which of eight tanks he was in, the grain was up to his armpits and acting according to the classic idea of quicksand, was dragging him down. In 2002 a case report was published telling the tale of a man who fell into a grain store late one evening on a farm in Germany. It is true that struggling can make you sink in further, but would you actually sink far enough to drown? The friction between the sand particles is much-reduced, meaning it can’t support your weight anymore and at first you do sink. But then the water and sand separate, leaving a layer of densely packed wet sand which can trap it. The ground looks solid, but when you step on it the sand begins to liquefy. Quicksand usually consists of sand or clay and salt that’s become waterlogged, often in river deltas. Yet the evidence that the more you struggle, the further you sink until you drown, is rather lacking. They were in everything from Lawrence of Arabia to The Monkees. In the 1960s, one in 35 films featured quicksands. There are so many films featuring death by quicksand that Slate journalist Daniel Engbar has even tracked the peak quicksand years in film. All that’s left is sinister sand, and maybe his hat. A man is caught in quicksand, begging onlookers for help, but the more he struggles, the further down into the sand he is sucked until eventually he disappears. Teen Titans Go! developed by Michael Jelenic and Aaron HorvathĪll characters and elements owned by Warner Bros.We’ve all seen the films. The 2003 Teen Titans cartoon developed by Glen Murakami, David Slack and Sam Register Teen Titans created by Bob Hane and Bruno Premiani Starfire and Raven created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez However, both Titans can't even free their boot-clad feet from the sucking wet sand due to how sticky it is here.Īn alternate version where Starfire and Raven's boot-clad feet are instead stuck in Tar can be found here: to their surprise, the quicksand patch, while sticky, has somewhat liquified, and both Titans are sinking very slower compared to their last foray with the patch. Unfortunately, they do not realize they landed on that same patch of quicksand made by Bootface until they tried to move. Story is, sometime after the events of "50% Chad", Starfire and Raven, while out on a flight, both decide to take a break from fly and land on gound. So, I went back to the manip shop and wrapped this up in an hour, using that same quicksand patch from the episode. Apparently, told me there was a short quicksand scene in the Teen Titans Go! episode "50% Chad" sometime after that scene where the Titans get stuck in bubblegum (Bootface had a hand with both scenes), and he was right.
