Wet Sand Traps Pair Face to Face In Torrance Hole
Two men buried in an 18 foot deep Torrance sewer excavation spent 90 minutes in a tiny air pocket as damp sand collapsed. Jay Ravin a 45 year old construction firm owner and Pete Dodge 19 of Woodland Hills faced each other trapped by their hands and heads under tons of wet sand. Rescue workers drilled an air line and pulled them free after the pocket filled again. Ravin said a wall gave way and their feet were buried while they tried to escape. Both men clung to a hook used to lower workers into the hole and spoke in whispers to stay calm until help arrived. The incident occurred on Torrance Boulevard near Garnet Street.
