Quicksand Fans

Here is the link to a video of a Chinese woman sinking in tidal quicksand up to her waist while walking across a mudflat by herself on a beach.

Did you travel through time from the dinosaur era? I promise that all the fish from the Cambrian period have seen this.
This video looks quite awkwardly. It seems to be telling you that "if the mud covered your little toe, you will never get out by yourself"

Just a poorly staged reenactment scene. I imagine the real entrapment went differently.

Nothing to write home about here!

Wow, so harsh! I've never seen this before, and I don't see how this was a "poorly staged" reenactment scene. I thought the bits where her legs were trapped were pretty good.

Thank you for this. It seems like the others here have gotten rather spoilt by the excellent quicksand videos from producers here... I remember when I was a teenager, I'd have thought it was brilliant if something like this had been on the TV.

My thoughts as well. zxy070401 won't be around much longer if he keeps acting like a limp dick.

I concur! Like, seriously. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all and all that. It costs 0.00 to be nice, folks. 20 years ago, many of us would be clamoring over each other for a scene like this

The "poorly staged" remark was mine, it was an accurate observation (stuck 1 inch deep in wet sand?), was not meant to be a cruel insult, and I certainly this place isn't turning into one of those censored forums were honest opinions are attacked and barred from giving if they don't suit someone else's senses.

Personally, I believe in real life the woman's boots plunged several inches into the sand when she got caught, but the video was made intentionally more dramatic.

I do too. I'm even editing a copy that removes the narrations and just shows the victim's footage. But the situation didn't begin with her legs trapped. That would be more believable.

How many times have I heard someone say that to someone else in a public forum? This is not Russia and I was not talking about Putin, so stop trying to toss me out 16-story windows for saying my piece, will ya?

For my part, I didn't realize that your remark was referenced in what I was quoting. My ire was directed at zxy070401 - and I presumed everyone else's was as well.

FWIW, the clip looked vaguely familiar, but not to the extent that I thought it had been posted here before.

i really like the closeup sinking shots. We so rarely get to see someone who starts by standing on the mud then slowly sinking! That's my ideal scenario, as opposed to plopping down into the quicksand. I know, there's reality and physics, but those are not the reasons we're here, are they?
