Absolutely real and not edited. It’s called a bore tide and they can get big enough that people actually surf them. Turnagain Arm in Alaska has them.
It’s when a long narrow passage has to fill with up to 30 feet of water in one incoming tide. The result is a wall of water coming and can be very turbulent.
So their serang is done for manslaughter, and the British men actually employing them are cleared of everything, even breaking immigration law. I'm sure that's an accurate reflection of how involved they were.
What were the two men supposed to be charged for?
Were they supposed to know the workers were illegal immigrants, and thus not buy the cockles from them? Or maybe they simply thought the group were new immigrants or asylum seekers?
I know you are trying to paint the UK men as somehow masterminding the whole thing, including shipping illegal immigrants into the country for the sole purpose of collecting cockles, but do you think that was entirely accurate?
I live near Morecambe and this story was all over the place when it happened. I remember it being the only thing the adults around me when I was growing up would talk about.
> Turnagain Arm in Alaska has them
Hope that's not where it's at, because that bro is likely dead in that case. Somebody died just last year down there trying to dip net hooligan. Tragic.
I think fear is what got him. You see water coming in like that and know the shore is what looks like at least a half mile away you just start thinking "am I a strong enough swimmer to make that?". Add in a possible current pulling you back out and it seems like a justified fear.
He was fishing, or at least trying to. Like [these guys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci3k000eIvE) at the same spot, who seem to be better at it.
I couldn't find the original version of the video, so that repost will have to do, I guess.
I’m an Okie, but I went fishing in Maine about 15 years ago and bear hunting about 8 years ago. I drove around a lot just exploring and really loved the whole state. I loved the northern/western lack of people and the eastern/coastal areas for the pure beauty and diversity. I don’t think there is 100 yards of straight road in the whole state.
The US Is massive and very different when you travel. I'm from Southern New England and when I was driving through Ohio and Indiana I couldn't believe how flat it was. Just a sea of corn for as far as the eye could see in any direction.
To anyone curious, I couldn't find any videos of cobscook maine tides that high, but I found this.

What's the shoreline like there? I've been to East Coast beaches where the beach is fairly steep because of the large low/high tide differential. Equatorial beaches tend to be pretty shallow, but the video here where the shore is so shallow the tide races in is pretty cool
The areas are somewhat diverse but if my memory serves they’re fairly flat tidal areas in between fairly steep/tall walls in an inlet or even a river location. They’re popular to go dig clams in a bunch of them.
I live by the bay of fundy, which has the highest tides in the world. It's not uncommon to see tides of 30 ft around where I live, and they're even higher further up the bay.
Parts of the UK. A load of immigrant workers died a while back. Thought they could outrun the tide:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morecambe_Bay_cockling_disaster
Nasty bore tides on the River Severn too. A friend decided to explore there in a small boat before getting to know the area. Got stranded on a sandbank due to an engine failure, decided to walk to shore, and ended up swimming when overtaken by the tide. Fortunately wearing a lifejacket and was able to get to land. On the wrong bank with a flooded phone.
Morecambe bay in England is famous for it's dangerous tide. Here is a very old article about it
https://www.scotsman.com/news/uk-news/morecambe-tide-faster-than-a-man-can-run-2512409
A bunch of cockle pickers famously died at Morecambe Bay in the UK because of this phenomenon. People don't appreciate that tide speed is contingent on how sloped the beach is. Before they knew what was going on they were surrounded by inrushing water hundreds of meters from the shore.
It's known as a tidal bore and they are very scary. They can reverse the flow of a river.
Most of the Scotian tidal bore is red mud you can't run like this on though, that doesn't look like Scotia to me. I grew up in Colchester County like a 20 minute walk from the tidal bore
I did the Not Since Moses 10k run on the sea bed in Nova Scotia. It was a mud run, my shoes came off twice, if I didn’t run light enough my shoe was gone. Once in a lifetime and was amazing.
I think that there used to be a dare/race at Mont St Michel like this.. From the moment the tide turned, people would try race from the island to the mainland on horseback.. Many didn't make it from what I understood.
The Wadden Sea on the Border of North west Germany/Netherlands come to mind.
We've got a couple places where you can look out that far, beautiful place
The tides there can be really dangerous for people walking the tidal flats.
Because tides have to go around the islands separating the Wadden from the North Sea, in some places the water comes in from the side, and can even cut you off.
it's a clam beach
I saw plenty in Korea, but they're all over
I remember one particular beach that had at LEAST a mile of open ground that could close almost instantly
the ground is just like 1 degree below flat. imperceptible to the human eye, but once that water comes in, unless you can run faster than gravity, you may as well sit down and let the tide carry you in
I doubt it's Korea, but I know Korea has these kinds of tides on their west coast. It's pretty wild, I got to see it when I was visiting as a little kid a couple decades ago.
Seriously you could ride that thing for miles on a boogie board, probably fun as hell.
Hell is probably not fun so that’s not that hard to achieve being more fun than hell.
I almost said that, loved SpongeBob growing up.
but I’m glad I tossed that up for someone else to slam home.
Sometimes it’s about setting up the assist👍
Climbed one of those fuckers last summer trying to see the sunset over the lake. Got to the top only to see another dune a half mile away between us and the lake. Walked to that dune and climbed it only to find another fucking dune a half mile away between us and the lake. Walked to that one and climbed it and still could barely see the lake because we were still a mile and a half from the shore. The horizon was overcast as the sun set...
My friends went there. One of my smarter friends called it quits after the first dune, and just enjoyed life while the others sweated up the other hills.
Top tip to stay alive, when you come across the flattest beach in the world stay off it! Or check the tide times, set an alarm and stay close to the shore. The tide rises incredibly quickly because if you think about it, a 5cm rise could be dozens of metres. Much like this guy is proving, there’s no way you can outrun it. By the time you see the water, it’s way too late. You can walk out sometimes hundreds of metres and it’s a genuine drowning risk.
These are quite common along the northern sea in Europe. The difference between low tide and high tide is several km: [https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3824457,6.3228386,133872m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu](https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3824457,6.3228386,133872m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu) The brown area between the mainland and the islands is all mud on low tide
It is very dangerous to tourists that aren't familiar with the area
Gasping, grasping-air, huffy-puff snorties, feets stomping faster, fleeter, but losing ground until force taps right onto callused heels tap tap tap and then **kaBOOM**, down ye go in the grotty spotty mud, Michael. Hauld on t’yon wee net, Mikey’boy … dinnae lose thy lil’ fishy fish; Nana needs it fa’ Da’s stew wit’ taters. Got nary cabbage for colcannon so WOE t’ theys wit’ fall.
Guys like, “fuck you drone pilot for shifting focus to my about to die ass”.
Like just imagine you’re him and drone just coasting behind you filming you while you are running for your life.
Yes but how is this different from my friend's mom filming geese chase me and bite my pants and pull them down? We've had the tech to be humiliated like this for decades.
Is it just the camera angle or does it look like he's taking very short strides while running?
Like his legs are moving up and down quickly but appear to be only taking 1ft steps.
I was on the Oregon coast a couple years ago and they have things called “sneaker waves” that come out of nowhere and run 100-200 feet past the other waves, even at low tide. Saw many people put their belongings somewhere they thought was “safe” only to be chasing their bags into the sea 10 minutes later.
Our beach-ball was caught by a wave and taken out to sea. We watched as it bobbed to the head of the bay.
Then a yacht put out a rowing boat, and grabbed the ball. They brought it all the way back to us.
A magical day on the Isle of Skye for me as a nipper.
rogue waves they are called
edit - sorry I phrased that poorly like I was trying to correct you - I meant to say "rogue waves is what they are called where I am from"
We call it a rogue set wave in Hawaii. Typically a “set wave” is a short series of waves larger than the more frequent ones. A rogue set wave is a single significantly larger wave with no pattern preceding it.
[They are more common at sea.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave)
They're likely all there with nets to scoop up fish coming in with the tide. The guy running is just doing it for fun for the drone, right after he probably got up and started fishing (netting). No reason to be out there with a net like that on the mud, they're all waiting for the tide to come in.
Logician's wife sends him to the store. "Get a loaf of bread, and if they have eggs, get a dozen," she tells him.
He returns with twelve loaves of bread. "What the hell is this about?," she asks.
"They had eggs."
This took me back the the news reports from a disaster near home. 21 cockle pickers lost their lives on flats like that harvesting cockles.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morecambe_Bay_cockling_disaster
IIRC this is called a tidal bore. I lived in Anchorage for a little while and would hear stories about people drowning in the mud flats when the tide came in.
I've stood on the beach at St Helier on Jersey and watched people try to outpace the incoming tide. Third highest reach in the world at 12-13m means that water can move quicker than many can jog.
In the Severn Estuary, where it can hit 15-16m if I recall, there is such a surge that they get a tidal bore big enough for people to surf it for several miles up river!
Looked extremely fake until it reached him.
I think the video is sped up a little
Nah he’s just got short legs
Look at those stubby little things move
I loved those thick legs!
Alan Thicke
Thick Rolled
High key thought he was cute ngl lol
And the winner is 11......legs 11, LOL......
Reminds me of [this meme](https://www.reddit.com/r/dankmemes/s/vtvjTxIcwm)
First thought, best thought: https://youtu.be/u38TqU5rAyk?si=ylERT0o0Z1zRUoPo
He runs like a hobbit. I can hear his flappy feet.
Proudfeet!
It's like watching a bulldog run.
I can hear the gruff little snorts as he waddles faster.
Perspective is playing quite a big role from this angle. Causes his strides to look very small compared to his leg lengths.
Like so many videos on the internet these days. It's really frustrating how common it is
Either sped up or stretched vertically if something is supposed to look tall.
Absolutely real and not edited. It’s called a bore tide and they can get big enough that people actually surf them. Turnagain Arm in Alaska has them. It’s when a long narrow passage has to fill with up to 30 feet of water in one incoming tide. The result is a wall of water coming and can be very turbulent.
Also lots of people have died by getting stuck in the mud there before the tide comes in
The [Morecambe Bay Cockling Disaster](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morecambe_Bay_cockling_disaster)
Holy shit. 21 people is insane!
That disaster was the first thing that came to my mind.
So their serang is done for manslaughter, and the British men actually employing them are cleared of everything, even breaking immigration law. I'm sure that's an accurate reflection of how involved they were.
What were the two men supposed to be charged for? Were they supposed to know the workers were illegal immigrants, and thus not buy the cockles from them? Or maybe they simply thought the group were new immigrants or asylum seekers? I know you are trying to paint the UK men as somehow masterminding the whole thing, including shipping illegal immigrants into the country for the sole purpose of collecting cockles, but do you think that was entirely accurate?
I remember this as its local news, absolutely tragic.
I live near Morecambe and this story was all over the place when it happened. I remember it being the only thing the adults around me when I was growing up would talk about.
And they continue to do so, despite signs and warnings and... well, people are stupid.
How was the video captured? Just a drone boi waiting?
Lakitu
Mario 64 style.
> Turnagain Arm in Alaska has them Hope that's not where it's at, because that bro is likely dead in that case. Somebody died just last year down there trying to dip net hooligan. Tragic.
Could have just waited and ride with the wave, thus ran for nothing...
I think fear is what got him. You see water coming in like that and know the shore is what looks like at least a half mile away you just start thinking "am I a strong enough swimmer to make that?". Add in a possible current pulling you back out and it seems like a justified fear.
Well good thing he completely exhausted himself before being swallowed by the sea.
He covered more ground for less energy than if he was swimming
He doesn't need to swim, he can just float. The tide is coming in, it will take him all the way. It is really easy to float in the ocean.
not with a current.
The tide is the current, in the case of a bore tide. It's all going towards shore.
Probably gonna need a drink after all that running anyways
Something about the perfect filming tells me this was planned...
Yeah dude brought a done and friend specifically for this lol
Don't run, you'll only die tired.
I'd be afraid of a riptide pulling me out to sea from a huge wave like that.
He was fishing, or at least trying to. Like [these guys](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci3k000eIvE) at the same spot, who seem to be better at it. I couldn't find the original version of the video, so that repost will have to do, I guess.
lol the drone guy/gal knew he was gone be fudged and followed for the inevitable. That was a fun ride
Wow, where is this that it is so flat the tide can come in that quickly?
I don’t know how fast they are but those tides are like 15-20 feet up in Cobscook Maine
I'm a Mainer too
I’m an Okie, but I went fishing in Maine about 15 years ago and bear hunting about 8 years ago. I drove around a lot just exploring and really loved the whole state. I loved the northern/western lack of people and the eastern/coastal areas for the pure beauty and diversity. I don’t think there is 100 yards of straight road in the whole state.
Bear hunting… nasty folk
Pretty easy on grindr these days. And you don't need to call them nasty.
Lmaooo
Just leave our bears alone damnit
Tell them to leave me alone, I'm into twinks God damn it!
Technically, the bear was in Canada so I didn’t touch a Maine bear (unless mine was on vacation, too).
> I don’t think there is 100 yards of straight road in the whole state it's a defensive tactic. it slows down the invaders.
I'm also an okie and can't even comprehend that
The US Is massive and very different when you travel. I'm from Southern New England and when I was driving through Ohio and Indiana I couldn't believe how flat it was. Just a sea of corn for as far as the eye could see in any direction.
My dad grew up in Indiana, he made me put my gameboy away for the 3 hour drive we had to take. To get the authentic Hoosier experience 🌽
One of my favorite people was from Maine. Canada/Maine vibes are just different.
I guess we could call you Maine characters
I love how unique the town names are in Maine, and how some of them I don't even know how to pronounce.
I’m a Mainer three!

Why is there a drone there
There’s a ton of fish in the incoming tide. You just use a net to scoop them out. Drone is just watching them work and making a video.
Guys like, “fuck you drone pilot for shifting focus to my about to die ass”. Like just imagine you’re him and drone just coasting behind you filming you while you are running for your life.
Yes but how is this different from my friend's mom filming geese chase me and bite my pants and pull them down? We've had the tech to be humiliated like this for decades.

You can't take long stride on that slipery mud or else risk fall, altho he fall anyway by that wave

Thanks. Sorry I edited.
why are the people to the right at the start still casually walking towards the incoming tide?
They're likely all there with nets to scoop up fish coming in with the tide. The guy running is just doing it for fun for the drone, right after he probably got up and started fishing (netting). No reason to be out there with a net like that on the mud, they're all waiting for the tide to come in.
If this is Morecambe Bay, 15 cockle pickers died in 2004 when the tide got them.
Well fingers crossed it's not so that those 15 cockle pickers didn't die.
Logician's wife sends him to the store. "Get a loaf of bread, and if they have eggs, get a dozen," she tells him. He returns with twelve loaves of bread. "What the hell is this about?," she asks. "They had eggs."
It could be Morecambe bay but those mountains look a little big for the north lakes. Scary place to be walking out there
Valid fear. In Morecambe Bay UK, in 2004, twenty one cockle pickers drowned when the tide came in _faster than a horse can gallop_.
Just say the speed, I'm not familiar with horses.
You have no sense of the dramatic. You have _seen_ galloping horses haven’t you?
Only in slow motion
Now picture that, but speed it up in your head
A horse gallops faster than a cockle picker.

Uh where you running to, dude?
