1. “I was shouting for help and no one could hear me.” 11yo boy’s survival after being ‘buried alive’ while playing on a South Australia beach.
A young boy and his mother have had the scare of a lifetime, after the sand in which the 11-year-old was digging collapsed and buried the boy alive on a beach south of Adelaide.
“It all collapsed on me… I was shouting out for help and no one could barely hear me,” Jordan Spraggs told Nine News about the incident yesterday at Horseshoe Bay behind Port Elliot Caravan Park.
More than a metre of sand fell in and on top of the boy, covering him completely “up to an inch above my head”.
“(My mum) shovelled all the sand around my face and she got it all out of my mouth, so I could breathe,” he said.
A friend, who had been digging in the sand nearby told Channel Seven he heard Jordan’s screams and looked around to find the boy had completely disappeared.
“He was covered, completely up to here,” Liam Browne said.
WATCH: Jordan’s friends recalling the ordeal, on Seven News.
Onlookers quickly rushed to help with Darien Bauer telling Nine News he was trying to calm the boy’s distraught mother while also trying to think of a way to help him breath.

If I can put in a request for MM - can you please have someone more eloquent than me write (and have published) a story about how repulsive the latest Getup campaign (backed by Yassmin Abdel Madied) regarding ANZAC day is? They plan to hijack 'Lest We Forget' - something that should be untouchable as it is all about remembering those people who have given us so much more than an easy keyboard click to have the lives we have today. As someone who has lost friends in the armed services it is an atrocious campaign, and the idea that this could pick up momentum on social media and may impact on the diggers past and present is a very sad one with ANZAC day coming. Please ask people not to join this horrible movement! MM is perfectly positioned to do this.
Of course Charles will be next in line. Who else would it be? The Queen isn’t going to skip him and go straight to William.
