Five Minutes After...(Cave-in)

RunningWithScissors · Posted: Feb 19, 2003 1:31 pm Post subject: Five Minutes After...(Cave-in)

It's been about five minutes since I could have died. It started this morning when my brother and I were building a kinsaui hut. (kind of like a snow igloo) Anyway, now after working on it for almost two hours, everything was going good. We were working on building the inside cavity by digging into it. I was digging deeper as my brother said, "Let's make the "door" wider so we can both work." He started to dig while I started to help from the inside. Suddenly, about half of it collapses on me. I, in panic, started to yell, "Make a hole, make a hole," so I wouldn't die of suffocation. My brother did as best he could to make holes for me and then tried to grab me by the feet and pull me out. That didn't work because a heavy amount of snow was on top of me. So after he make a good sized hole, he just started to shovel the snow off of me. I am very glad my brother was there because I could have died. It wasn't a giant cave-in, but significant to be remembered. I'm just happy I'm still alive and not hurt. But I am a little shaky now... just thought I'd share it with you guys or girls. Have a happy day, and be glad someone cares! Smile

good to hear your alive.

Lol funny story-today at lunch me and some friends went into a radio shack and stole these golf balls that when the hit the ground or a wall they explode, unfortunitly my dumby wumby friend Nathan grabbed the wrong ones and he got regular golf balls. So we go out side and we walka bit then throw one againt the side of a buliding, it bounces off the wall , across main street and breaks the front window of a chinease food restaraunt.

anyways glad to hear your not dead.

I have a better story for window breaking. This kid had one of those things where you can crank your car remotely. Well he left his car in gear so when he hit the button to crank it drove into a shop window.

I also live in upstate NY just wondering where, and it turns out Kyle was born in the same town as me so i think we can both sympathize with the insane snow and wanting to get the hell out of here. After the 14 inches we got here 2 days ago i really cant wait to get out of high school and move somewhere warm. Im definitely living in either Florida or Cali when i get a little older and im sure Kyle would suggest it. Your experience is almost as bad as me shoveling 12 inches of snow and 2 inches of ice off my trampoline yesterday and cutting a 3in hole in it by mistake Wink

Have a great winter (great -- winter, is that an oxymoron)

I'll second that C3....but, you guys don't know what it's like to get alot of snow! The Sierra Nevada's out here will sometimes get 2 feet over night, and then some!
-ever heard of the Donner Party?-...YEAH!
