A 17-year-old boy from Virginia died on the Outer Banks in North Carolina after a hole dug in the sand collapsed and trapped him underneath. The collapse happened in Frisco, and the boy was found buried under several feet of sand in a hole dug on a back dune behind the primary dune.

"Fire department's cookbook for intoxicated cooking"

Firefighters in New Zealand have released a cookbook called "You're Cooked" with recipes for those who are drunk or high, hoping to prevent fatal house fires caused by unattended cooking. The cookbook offers simple recipes that can be made using air-fryers, toasters, kettles, and microwaves, all of which have timers. The campaign is lighthearted but serious, as half of all fatal domestic blazes in New Zealand involve alcohol or drugs. The safety campaign has already had an impact, with the target audience now seeing cooking under the influence as a riskier enterprise.
