How the hell?!

Oops, I mean "shins" (not "chins")

It's pretty amazing. When you are just walking across it, it feels perfectly solid and doesn't give way at all. Only when you rock back and forth like in the video does it become fluid at the surface.

ok then its all fine and cool... it just looks exactly like a floating bog...

You must think we're standing on a floating bog. The soil we are stepping on is solid silt that becomes liquid when it is disturbed (saturated, oriented silt particles are dilatant). However, it is entirely impossible to break through, as you can see in this video. If somehow the tight organic mat were to give way, you would sink no deeper than your chins and could easily pull yourself out. The people in this video are soil scientists. They know a thing or two about where they are stepping.

what a bunch of morons do you have any idea the danger you were in! you could so easily have broken through and drowned!
