@samkj27 @JoshMankiewicz In the 50's as well. I remember a couple of old movies whose actors slowly died in the quicksand.
@samkj27 @JoshMankiewicz Exactly. I always thought about quicksand while exploring the neighborhood, or just traveling in general. 70's entertainment had people dying in quicksand every week! Imagine Dora the Explorer always losing in new friends because she couldn't reach their hand in time.
