Minion Dam burst

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.

But most importantly
Thomas stand bacc
If only it were true.
Oh
*LOL*
Nearly spat out my coffee
Thomas is my friend from a school called Tolsta Primary. Yep, we know each other
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 like how the dad is as excited as the kids
Yaas day funny

Hi

Legend has it thomas never stood back

I live there
Thomas is my friend at school
kornflake kruncher does he know he’s famous
@@myrinsk Hi Sean J Thomas is my best friend at school 🙃
Your kids gonna thank you when they older for the experience, Looks fun!
5tonedFlaming0 yea dude gotta agree with ya
5tonedFlaming0 That is so true...its the little things like this that your kids will always remember. You are a great dad and your kids are very lucky to have you as their dad. 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
some tannerite would have made it special

only takes a few inches to be swept off your feet ;)
LolYouSaidWhat? THATS WHAT SHE SAID
Philip Taylor if only he had listened. We'll remember poor Thomas well.

Kids just love it when adults come down to their level and play...
They will remember for rest of their lives!
Exactly. ♥ :-)
The dad definitely enjoyed it more then the kids, lol
My name is Keith
One of the gifts of children. They let you see the world through their eyes again, if only for a little while.
Thomas studying hydro physics at university;
lecturer: "so can anybody tell me what we must consider before performing any experiments?"
Thomas: "stand back"
🤣🤣🤣
i mean, it's not wrong
God damn it Thomas
Legend has it the Dad still tells Thomas to stand back, Thomas is now 40.
Dang, Thomas looking young for a 34 year old
Thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy. May God have mercy.

When dad secretly has more fun than kids.
Good fun!

Lol
Lol I thought I was the only one who did that. What's wrong with us? XD
Omg

It Shows why dambursts are that damn Dangerous. The hole gets bigger and bigger and nobody could stop it. That looked absolutly insane btw
Ingame_Name_13 Thanks.
bro, this is made out of sand
@@prodrafibrg sand just make it happen faster, it'll be the same, just take more time
Hesiay and real dams break the exact same way.
Are they damn dangerous or dam dangerous?
I like how the dad is secretly enjoying it wayyy more than the kids.
Lily Llama his inner Kid Hiding
Literally just copied a comment below you
Well, he eventually made the dam all by himself :D
I am like 666. Sorry bro
I was thinking to do same thing with my kids, and yes, I will yell them to stand BACK!
Not going to lie, at first I was disappointed because I looking for footage of an actual dam... then it turned out kinda awesome.
I love how the little boy is so excited. Reminds me of my son when he was that young
All he needed to be happy was a water hose and a mudhole. Those were the good old days
Dad had been waiting since he was Thomas's age to tell 'stand back' instead of being told. :)
A.M. Fortas lol
Thomas will one day have the power but for now he shall stand back.
A.M. Fortas is
A.M. Fortas No His names "STAND BACK KEEP BACK" I never heard a Thomas........
Lol. " I hold the POOWWWWEEEERRRR"
Thomas needs to stand back
Ya kno. What a little shithead
Mike Dickey nasty
Ya true, Thomas stand back! Sheesh
The two guys are going ballistic while the girl is like 😶
Pretty standard lol. Guys having a blast while girls stand around confused with their antics.
Plot twist: this Mini dam acted as a "voodoo doll" to a real dam
And then there was a real dam burst somewhere else
STAND BACK THOMAS, STAND BACK
Sorry!
Yeah. Exactly! From what!?
The girl can jump in. He dosen't give a fuck about her.
Jessica Pinter read #4 in the description you dolt

Methinks dad was possibly even more exited than the kids, lol. Great fun.
True. This was me reliving my own childhood. Thanks.

"Cup of tea and some biscuits" - never a more British stereotypical quote has appeared on youtube before :)
Thanks, It's a regular routine after school. Home, changed, schoolbag sorted and then 'Cup of tea and two biscuits'. (Chocolate biscuits if the school report is good).
devonutopia: Yes and quite lovely, don't you think?
devonutopia good to be British m8
That is how we end all activity in the UK.
devonutopia don't underestimate tea and biscuits. It fuelled the British Empire
You just had the best day ever with the kids 😍 they're the best excuse to relive your childhood.
A working model of the South Fork dam. Outstanding job.
Actually a pretty good example of what happens when a dam fails.
Yeah this tells people why dams need a spillway. the failure point will expand without warning then it fails and the hole will expand this can only be preventable with a spillway which will drain water and keep the dam from failing
Also some examples of how waterfalls occur
You are a great Daddy. That's the stuff that makes cool memories.

Beautiful beach, but the streams can make the sand quite dangerous. I'd been telling him to keep away from the stream for most of the last two hours!
Rob Koch Lol, gotta teach the kids to be safe, who knows what's in that water.
Gavin Minion Could you please tell me where this beach is it looked a lot like a beach I went when I was a kid
Hi Trev, this is Traigh Mhor or Tolsta Beach. It is a beach on the North East side of the Isle of Lewis. Thanks.
Gavin Minion. Thank you very much for taking time to answer me , it was that beach I visited as a kid it has brought back happy memories. God bless you and your family thank you.
1:29 looks like Thomas has been going on the internet for a long time

Sound effects are great 👍
Here in the US, the Minion clan has been blissfully unaware of this devastation to our namesakes dam. I’m so glad to hear that Thomas actually listened to his father and stood back. From one Thomas Minion to another-Well done, Thomas!
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.

Watched this soooo many times.. wish my dad took me out as a kid and did stuff like this :)) those kids have zero worries right now, just living a dream XD
Thanks, they are four years older now and we still wait for the chance to build another dam. The conditions were just right that day, plenty of water, steep banks and not too cold or rainy (They were only young then and didn't like to be out in the cold).
That's a lot of beer
KingDev I was gonna comment saying that. Then I changed my mind and was gonna say “that’s a lot of piss”. But I decided to do neither. Cheers tho. I dig it

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.

The British accent make this 10 times better

"British accent"
It’s called English. Everything else is the accent.
Gavin Thornton I’m British and everywhere has a different accent, also everyone has an accent (including different regions of britain)
imagine all of the different accents in britain combined into one uniform “British accent”, it would sound bizarre
