Normal 'quicksand' won't suck you under the surface, once you sink a certain amount(considerably less than in water, apparently usually about waist deep, as it's denser than water) you're buoyant. I suppose it is possible some people drown from normal quicksand, but indirectly - getting stuck and then the tide coming in or something similar. In this case, actual suction had been created by the conditions.

This happened once by my house, except it wasn't a person that sank but the ass end of a car. Basically something very similar happened the city was replacing sewer pipe down the center of a 4 lane wide street right through the middle of historic "Old Town". They had an excavator with a breaker and a 24" clay spade on it. We were sitting at an outside table at the coffee house and we noticed that as the breaker/clay spade was thumping the back of the car at the side of the street was sinking into a depression in the street that was forming. it was little enough to start (1-3 inches) and we thought it funny, but 5 mins later a 5' sink hole opened under the car and we ran over to help the guy who was in the Dry cleaners.... He said "Let it sink, nothing of importance in there and that car was a lemon"... 5 minutes later it was almost completly covered with silty sand at the bottom of a 15ft deep hole.

I installed 6 of these over a 10 period working in the underground utilities industry. The one step we always did was to pile sand as high and the casing will be deep. So if we are sinking a casing 20 feet 120 days before th job starts we start dewatering and we would pile sand 20 feet high on top of the sight. This is sir charging. Just the weights of the sand alone would drop compact the ground 2 to 5 feet. As the water is removed it would compact the ground more. We remover the sand and start the casing. We live where sand is cheap and plentiful. Some areas this is not an option. It sure firmed up the soil under the project. After removal the sand you could see a huge dent in the ground from all the weight of the sand. Stay safe.

QC conditions are prevalent in post-hurricane situations on coastline dig sites. Even now, the water table is 3-5 feet BELOW grade, on average. Normally the table is about 25-50 feet deeper after the wet seasons in winter. This necessitates extensive dewatering, use of caissons, and hole reinforcement. This adds time to already mangled and shredded time tables and schedules filled with sick calls and logistics issues.

I believe the second scenario at 6:03 is more likely. Apparently the lower aquifer was identified in another report meaning the driller had to have located it. It would also be interesting to note that if the driller drilled down to the lower aquifer in the exact spot of the proposed lift station this would have been the cause of the boil and thus this incident.

The boiling water in the steel housing was open to the atmosphere. Without heating the water, it can't boil under such conditions. It's rather possible that the other workers saw air bubbles and mistook them for boiling bubbles. Another point is: The other workers saw the water level rising, inside the steel housing. How to create a negative pressure, inside a partially closed steel housing, when you increase the fluid level inside the steel housing ? A liquid can start to boil at lower temperatures, when you have a negative pressure and the liquid is contained inside a closed (to the atmosphere) structure. Like a pressure cooker. If I fill a tank with water via a pump, will the water inside the tank start to boil ? No it won't

I've built a few lift stations, employee number one is lucky to have coworkers that know how to react in time. He could be with his boots, they saved his life. That hydrostatic suction can pull a man in half!

Man, even though everybody survived (except the boots), this is absolutely terrifying. I can imagine the coworkers simply yelling “fuck, fuck, fuck” repeatedly and when one of them begins sinking with the trapped coworker, he probably said “fuck this shit. I’m out! Sorry! Good luck there, Bud!” Man, I’m glad they got those straps around him and the pipe. It would have never occurred to me to do that, especially in the moment of that panic when people tend to be irrational. I thought, however, the video was going to take a dark turn when the narrator said he has been strapped down for a long time. I thought perhaps he was going to infer to the cut off circulation of a certain body part, or that the pulling force of the quicksand was about to dismember the trapped coworker. I was relieved that was not the case.

A neighbor lost a horse in quicksand in the woods behind our barn. Until then, our Dad didn’t know it was there, although we did know there were patches of it in the area. We kids used to play in those woods frequently. After that, we still went in the woods, but with a lot more caution. We had a dog go missing and he could very well have gotten sucked underground because we never found any sign of him.

Normal quicksand doesn't pull animals under the surface, they get stuck. It's effectively like water but heavier and thicker - you sink a certain amount and then 'float'. It's probably one of the few natural situations that humans are better equipped for than animals, due to our high arms. The case in the video involved suction being created, a similar situation could've occurred with just water.

That was the description the other workers gave. It only appeared to be boiling. It was bubbling.
