YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Distressing footage captured desperate beachgoers using their hands to rescue a young girl who was trapped in a sand hole on a Florida beach before she died on Tuesday.

The girl, believed to be around 5 to 7 years old, had dug a 5- to 6-foot-deep hole at a beach at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Fort Lauderdale around 3 p.m. Tuesday, when it caved in on her and a 7-year-old boy, NBC Miami reported.

The weight of the sand completely buried the girl, while the boy was buried up to his chest.

Video obtained by CBS Miami showed first responders and good Samaritans digging sand out from the hole as they tried to rescue the trapped girl.

Firefighters were seen using shovels and boards to clear the sand away from the hole as they tried to reach the girl during the time-sensitive rescue.
