Korean Student Dies in Beach Sandpit Collapse in Santa Clara

	Korean Student Dies in Beach Sandpit Collapse in Santa Clara A 20-year-old exchange student from Korea died after he lay down in a 183cm-deep sandpit he and some fellow students had dug on a southern California beach and it collapsed on him. The Oxnard Fire Department said in a statement that students from Masters College had dug the pit while spending the day at Oxnard Beach Park on Wednesday and the man became buried after climbing into it. "I think the kids were just having fun on the beach," Oxnard Fire Battalion Chief Darwin Base told NBCLosAngeles.com. "There was a big group of them down there. They were taking pictures of each other and from what I understand the individual was laying back in the pit and taking pictures of his fellow students and that's when it sloughed and came in on him." Firefighters arrived and immediately began digging with tools and hands, but it took 15 minutes to free him. CPR was performed on the man as he was taken to Ventura County Medical Center, but he was declared dead at the hospital. The man's name and hometown have not been released because his relatives have not yet been notified of his death.	From: gakyoungtube Views: 0 0 ratings
