[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so many crazy accidents happen all the time and just like illness, it immediately triggers this idea in us that we would have avoided it and we can avoid it. but the truth is - sh*t happens.

I worked in news for 12 years and for a long time I would gather 'trends' I saw and try to learn from them... having a pitbull/ drive on lawnmower (so many horrific child related accidents)/ pickup truck without rearview assist/ skiing/ any type of motorbike/ any small prop plane in any weather piloted by almost anyone/ swimming in pretty much any lake (nageri fowleri)/ flying on plane with peanut allergy and no epi pen - I could go on.

there but by the grace of god. be humble people. [/quote]

Well said PP.

Shit happens in life to all of us.  You can be totally prepared and take every precaution - there's never a 100% guarantee and you should feel grateful for safety and health always.  Accidents and even stuff like this where I think the parents probably bore some responsibility on some level not because they allowed their kids to dig but because 1. they couldn't have dug that deep without an adult's help so it would seem 2. adults (ie parents) had to be around to keep an eye on them but the kids were buried for an unknown amount of time so it looks like they were on their own for some time.

I have to admit even though sand is porous being common sense - when my younger kids were digging - I never thought twice to let them even though they would never be able to dig that deep.  I absolutely feel that many people would not have assumed digging could lead to this type of tragedy.  [/quote]
