Minion Dam burst

(For licensing or usage, contact licensing@viralhog.com)
School was closed for the day, so I took the kids down to Traigh Mhor (Tolsta Beach) and built a dam. Here is a video of it bursting.
A couple of frequently asked questions?
1 - How big was the dam.
The wall was 1 metre (3 feet) high and about six metres (20 feet) wide.
2 - How was it built, How long did it take to build?
About two and a half hours, with a garden spade. I shovelled earth into the stream until the sand built up enough to stop the flow, then carried on piling it on.
2 - Why does the water look so dark?
Heavy rain washes peat (soil) down from the hills. It is dark brown and full of plant matter (rotted leaves and stems). It looks filthy but is harmless.
3 - Why do I keep telling Thomas to stand back?
The water was about 0.5 metres (2 feet) deep in the centre of the channel and flowing fast. The beach is well known for 'sinking sand' (Quicksand) which is often found in and near the streams. Thomas was too excited to care and kept trying to run into the water to test his wellies...
4 - Why do I not keep telling Rebecca to stand back?
Because she is more sensible.
5 - Where are the little yellow people?
Minion is our family surname and has been for at least eight generations I can trace. Minions is a trademark of Universal Studios and we have no blue dungarees or yellow skinned lozenges. We do like bananas though.
Thanks go to Rebecca Minion for her helpful advice on construction and Thomas Minion for the musical score and additional descriptive language.

    Watching this only confirms my view - that, if you need to breach a sandbar to drain a lagoon of deep water trapped behind it, you don't need a massive excavator to dig a trench 15 - 20 feet wide. A channel no wider than your hand will allow water to flow, and that initial tiny flow will soon scour it wide enough to let a river through - exactly as Thomas and Rebecca saw for themselves! Seriously; they might not have been at school that day, Gavin, but you still gave them a superb lesson in physics and hydrology - and one they'll never forget. Well done!

    It also depends on how course and dense the sand is. If you have course sand that is very loose, the water will just sink into it when the channel is not able to keep up with water. Your flow needs to be bigger than the amount of water draining into the sand.

I hope alot of dead beat dads watch this and hopefully it gets in their head that they should take part in their kids lives. Dont look at them as little annoying kids, look at them as tiny adults that will grow up to be whatever it is that you teach them and show them. It is a VERY rewarding experience and I wouldnt change it for the world... Great Video

    Hello Thomas Minion - I will pass your comment on to my son, who is now a teenager. There aren't many with our surname around so it's great to hear from some overseas Minions. If ever you're in the Outer Hebrides (where there are currently a grand total of four Minions) you are welcome to pop over and see the recovery effort.

    Love it!! When I lived in the UK I often took my kids up to Dartmoor (in Devon County) and we used to make dams in streams - and then enjoy the final dam collapse - oh those were the days.... long long ago. :)

    I started doing this at Thomas' age. Never stopped really! I could never resist trying to stop the stream and then wait for it to fill before the best bit. Thanks for watching.

    It’s called English. Everything else is the accent.

    imagine all of the different accents in britain combined into one uniform “British accent”, it would sound bizarre
