A woman’s ordinary day at the beach took a terrifying turn after she was swallowed by quicksand.
The incident happened to her while she and her husband were walking along Popham Beach State Park in Phippsburg, Maine.
“We’re walking along, just talking, and all of a sudden I went into the sand,” Jamie said.
“Literally it was kind of like I just dropped into a manhole cover,” she added.
Fortunately, her husband pulled her out after she was swallowed by quicksand. She only had a few scratches from the sand.
“It was kind of one of those moments where I didn’t know what to do. This is a new thing that’s never happened before. And I go to that beach all the time,” she told people.
After removing her wet cement-like sand, she posted about the event on social media to alert others, especially those who go to the beach alone at night.
A representative from the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry named Jim Britt informed the Associated Press that the situation Acord was in wasn’t imaginable.
Officials from the Bureau of Parks and Land in Maine, including Popham Beach manager Sean Vaillancourt, urged the public to keep calm.
