I think it should be noted that Francis Ngannou worked in a sand mine before making it to the UFC which is probably why the competetive sand miner says he's his inspiration beyond Francis being a national hero to many.

I’m not sure if the numbers add up to how much sand this guy moves in a day. The film said he works 4 hours a day, mining 9 tons of sand, using a 33 pound bucket. 9 tons is 18,000 pounds. Divide that by 33 pound buckets that’s 545 buckets per day. In 4 hours, that’s 136 buckets per hour, 2.27 buckets per minute, or 1 bucket every 26 seconds. And that’s with EVERY BUCKET taking the same 26 seconds, bucket number 1 to bucket number 545. I’m not doubting the work he’s putting in, but I’m calling BS on the numbers. Another thing to keep in mind is those 33 pound buckets are also partly filled with water, which then gets scooped out of the boat. So to end up with 18,000 pounds of (mostly) sand, it will take more than 545 dives.

They're definitely skewing the numbers but they're achievable. They would be scooping a bucket 37(ish) times per hour. One bucket every minute and a half. No way they have scales there to measure the boat itself. They just did the math and gave friendly numbers.

We are already in a sand crisis. In fact its very easy to find information online where scientists are keeping a close eye on the shortage which is why some companies have been experimenting with breaking down glass and combining it in a sand mixture to use less sand but what they found was its does not last as long and breaks down faster.

In Islam, we believe in one God that created the entire universe, and there's a short but powerful chapter in the Quran called Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112), which says: 'Say, He is Allah, the One; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He neither begets nor is born; and there is nothing comparable to Him.' This is how the Almighty describes himself. ( One of the main issue I have with Christianity is the concept of the Trinity, how can God be human, needing to eat, drink, and use the toilet e.t.c.. In Islam, the belief is much simpler and clearer. God is far greater than anything we can imagine. He is not like His creation and doesn’t have human limitations. We also believe in jesus but as a prophet

@@abdikadirm5504 I do not agree with the concept of God being human either but I think that is largely a misinterpretation of the trinity and origin of humanity. I believe to give us true free will God who in my opinion is the the universe and the rest of existence, he separated parts of himself and turned them into us making us his children, which would limit him in some ways but nowhere near the point of making him look mortal. I don't think I really classify under any religion those are just the most similar but really I'm all over the place I probably believe some parts directly out of your religion and don't even know it. I really wish there were other people with my beliefs it all seems so obvious and all the different religions seem so similar. All the conflict and confusion really makes no sense to me I feel like it's really just humanity returning to a tribal state and using their religion as an excuse and to get others involved.

I understand your view, and it’s interesting how you see God’s connection to humanity. In Islam, we believe that God creates without needing to be part of the creation. The Quran mentions... 'Indeed, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allah is like that of Adam. He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be!” And he was!' (Quran 3:59). Both were created by God's command, showing His power without the need for limitations. ( you're a smart being. I really encourage you to read the Quran. You won’t need anyone to convince you, the Quran will speak to you itself, as it's the Word of God sent to guide everyone. May Allah guides us all to the straight path...Ameen

@crafterlula1328

There's a couple reasons, and I'm pretty sure the video is wrong. River sand isn't coarser and sharper, its been ground down over centuries giving it a more consistent grain size/shape compared to beach sand. Because rivers flow, the different particles of sand almost naturally segregate themselves based on grain-size similar to how a centrifuge can separate the different parts of blood due to their different densities. River sand grinds against itself as the river flows, smoothing them out a little, but not as much as desert sand. Beach sand, by contrast is contaminated with ocean debris, salt, wood, sea shells, sea-creature carcasses, and whatever else is found at a beach. It can't be easily cleaned or sifted, making it uneconomical as an alternative. If used raw... well, I'll explain that below. Beach sand is contaminated with salt and chlorine ions, which are both detrimental to concrete. Salt corrodes rebar and chlorine ions will rip concrete apart. If you've seen those video's of Chinese concrete people could break with their hands, that's concrete that used beach sand and too much water. Combined, they make the concrete weak enough to pull apart like Styrofoam. It's just strong enough to hold the building up for in the short term, but strong enough winds or even a small earthquake will cause it to fall (hence why hundreds of Chinese buildings collapse after each earthquake). Time will also cause it to fall, but they get torn down once an audit reveals the dire state of the building or nature beats auditors to the punch.

IDK man they probably got it down pat. Rocks and sand aren't heavy under water because of buoyancy. The only heavy lifting is over the edge of the boat. The bucket is shaped about right for scooping and scaping it off the bottom. The size of the bucket is just right and the metal is more rigid and durable than plastic. It also works good for bailing out water. They managed nine tons in four hours. They got this.
