Florida teens buried alive in deadly sand tunnel collapse

A Florida community is reeling from the deaths of two teenage best friends who lost their lives while enjoying a day in the sand.

George Watts, 14, and Derrick Hubbard, 14, were digging a hole and tunnel in a sandpit near Sportsman’s Park in Inverness, roughly 70 miles north of Tampa, Jan. 11, according to FOX 13. 

"They were just kids," Corey Edwards, their coach and mentor in the 352 Legends program, told the outlet. "They were just kids doing what we try to tell kids to do, ‘Get outside and play.’"

When the hole was roughly 5 feet deep, it reportedly collapsed on the two teens.
