Dramatic CCTV Footage Shows Mom and Daughter Rescued from Sand Sinkhole, Thanks to Heroes With Ropes.

CCTV surveillance footage captured the dramatic scene as a mother and young daughter were rescued after they became stuck waist-deep in wet sand—just meters away from each other.

A young girl was playing in the sand at 5:20 pm, near the Three Shells Lagoon, in Essex, England before she suddenly sinks knee-deep and becomes stuck.

Moments later, her mom can be seen rushing to her daughter’s aid, only to sink fully up to her waist.

The scared duo begin shouting for help during the incident last Tuesday, before four men from the nearby Adventure Island theme park came to their rescue.

The heroes brought a long rope and first pulled the daughter to safety and then worked to free the mother, dragging her a long way across the sand, so no one else would get stuck.

In a post on Facebook, a spokesperson for Adventure Island said the wet sand had recently been placed there by the local council—and the tide coming in—when one of their managers heard the screams.

“Thankfully this happened while our team were still on site at the end of the day, allowing staff to step in when it mattered most.

“He immediately alerted members of our workshop team, who quickly brought ropes to secure around them and carefully pull them to safety. Drawing on their training and expertise, the team acted quickly and calmly to rescue them.” (Watch the video below…)
