Crews Find Bodies Of 2 North Carolina Children Trapped In Dirt

Authorities have recovered the bodies of two young cousins who were trapped when a wall of dirt fell on them while playing in a hole at a home construction site in North Carolina.

Lincoln County Emergency Services spokesman Dion Burleson said the bodies of a 6-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy were pulled early Monday from a 24-foot-deep pit in the town of Stanley, outside of Charlotte.

"These are horrific circumstances," Burleson told reporters gathered near the rural site on a two-lane road.

  3. The excavator operator will have OSHA to answer to, and probable criminal charges if the slopes were too steep for the soil type.

  4. Spot on 4:53...but also, like 3:44 said, we have seen something else that we can add to the list of things that can kill children..instead of banning dirt and playing outside, we will require the developers to construct a 50 foot tall wall around all building sites, and require all the people that dig holes to submit to a background check.
