    But O’Brien said they don’t want their story to scare people away from the beaches. He has been going to beaches in that area his entire life and has only encountered quicksand twice.

    I have never encountered quicksand in my life

      Quicksand is second most dangerous thing according to primary schoolers right behind Bermuda triangle. Don’t take it lightly.

          Yeah, it goes from Michigan to Ohio to Indiana

          Edit: downvotes from the midwesterners stuck in the Michigan triangle

      I have a bunch of times, I lived near a beach like this. I’ve had to extract people pretty often.

        yeah thinking about my times on beaches, they tended to be areas lots of people hang out on. even when i visited the lakes, it was a spot with a bunch of homes along it.

    Good to know my second greatest fear as a child has an upside.

    Now if only something good could come out of the Bermuda Triangle.

      Step 1: go on a date with someone your mutual friend informs you both already like each other…

      Shit, now I need 2 friends. My fiancee is never going to believe I could pull this off.
