01:30listen this is not anything that in recent history we can remember responding to here leland township
01:37firefighters are prepared to handle just about any call that comes in for help still some are a little
01:42unexpected our first arriving truck responded from the leland station and arrived on scene in about two
01:46and a half minutes found a patient stuck up to their waist in very deep loose sand mitchell o'brien was
01:53that patient out for a rock hunting adventure here at vans beach walking through a couple of inches of water
01:59when he hit an extremely soft spot in the sand it was very quick i had time to turn around and get
02:06my cell phone out of my pocket that was pretty much it he was there with at the time his friend
02:12friend friend i thought we needed help instantly um but he wanted to he was very good at reassuring
02:21that he would get out of there and that he was okay but after 15 minutes mitchell wasn't any more
02:26interesting huh there's no chance you're getting laid i'll tell you that right now
02:30and brie was getting a lot more concerned i hope i never get to me those moments
02:35you're with a woman and you get stuck you find a lady to go rock hunting with you and then you get
02:45stuck waist deep in the sand and we have to call 911 to get you rescued and she's like we've got to call
02:51someone i'm like no no don't call someone don't make this a big story don't want to call someone
02:56right away she yes of course because there's a big fat guy he's stuck he's sinking if i'm sinking i
03:03understand the panic she's not pulling me out yeah no lady i would go rock hunting with is gonna be
03:10able to pick me up she knew right away oh he's never gonna get out of there well instead of like
03:17king trident's trident or whatever he's got like barbecue like a barbecue
03:20he does skewers oh chuck it i hope this doesn't happen oh listen i'm not kidding last night i watched
03:33a video on how to get out of quicksand like this really why would you watch that strange it popped
03:39up on my feed it was like a guy he was like all right i'm stuck in quicksand and it was like in
03:45some australia placed in australia or something and he showed that you lay down on your back
03:51and then you slowly start almost like trying to kick your pump your knees pump your knees
03:58you don't look cool this guy was in incredible shape or whatever like i'm just dead like i just
04:03i would just lay on your back and pump your knees he showed he showed that it's possible to escape but
04:09in the story they said most of the time people don't die from quicksand they die from the tide
04:16coming in right oh yeah so like you get stuck like that and it's halfway horrible and then the tide
04:21comes up and you're done because you couldn't escape back to this big guy story oh it was to me those
04:29moments were terrifying honestly just to see somebody you care about in a situation and i couldn't get to
04:34him in a safe manner for the pair of long time friends they knew this wasn't a situation they
04:41could get out of without a lot of help i was finally like i'm not getting myself out of here
04:46i'm gonna call 9-1-1 now he did and so did brie they described this situation and that's where
04:55this friendship officially became a love story
04:58i need uh to talk some sexy lady into rock hunting and then i also got to find out where
05:15there's some awesome quicksand almost die yes and that will bring you close together i almost lost
05:23you in the quicksand while we were rock hunting i guess you didn't realize how much you liked me
05:27until i was stuck oh no the tide oh the tide's coming in i'm probably dead
05:34should we do it i can't believe it worked out for her i know i can't either i love let's hear more
05:42i was on the phone with uh the 9-1-1 operator she was trying to call as well we were both calling
05:47because we're having some phone issues and i referred to her as my girlfriend that's trying
05:53to call as well at the exact same time she got through to another operator and said my boyfriend
05:59is stuck in the sand yep that's when they first used those what a beautiful terms and told central
06:06dispatch before they actually told each other i'm officially utter shock but still stuck until
06:13the first leland firefighter arrived on the scene three guys i believe in front of mitch oh no one
06:18guy and then you've got to be pulled out like a beached whale they strap that around you it's not
06:25the best oh do they have him they're gonna hook him up to a jeep winch i think so
06:30i think man they're gonna hook him up to a fire truck and pull him out this is a reason enough
06:36for me to put a winch on my jeep right now so i can just do it myself i'd be like listen what you
06:41gotta have your lady do it yes it's way better than this your lady's gotta winch you out it's way
06:47better than a cool guy in a real jeep comes up with a winch and pulls me out of there in front of
06:52my lady around back of him and just started scooping sand as quickly as possible and you
06:58can see him starting to go down a bit as well and it was literally just all of the guys in action
07:05in seconds and a couple good yanks and he got out of there we always appreciate knowing that we were
07:13able to make a difference that day cold wet but uninjured and with a bit of advice of the lesson
07:19learned just be careful go out there enjoy it look for your pretty blue stones like i did but
07:24pretty blue stones and a lot of appreciation for how a soft spot in the sand and a couple of 911
07:31calls exposed a soft spot in each other's hearts holy two years of this guy being my best friend
07:38and just trying to hide everything how i felt and then he tried to die on me and becomes my
07:45boyfriend in the middle of it oh god i'm dying over here firefighters will always anyone calling
