Wild video from Fraser Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia where a surfer becomes trapped in quicksand in a matter of seconds.
Quicksand may seem like a old timey movie trope from a bygone era but the phenomena is very much real and can be quite dangerous. Quicksand or Sinking Sand forms in saturated loose sand when the sand is suddenly agitated. Behaving like a non-Newtonian fluid it appears solid but even a small disturbance can cause it to liquefy.
Luckily this woman was quickly pulled to safety but there’s no telling what the outcome would have been if she was solo. Be careful if you come across scenes like this, danger is no joke.
