Narrative

We were putting in a tile, I dug the hole about 7'wide 7' deep. We were working on the 2nd half and a shovel fell in. EE said he would get it, I told him no the bank needed cut wider. As I was doing that he went in to get it I yelled for him to stop as the bank was caving. He tried to run but didn't make it.
