Every other film had that horrendous scene of people drowning in unexpectedly appearing quicksand.

At least a fire can happen anywhere.
I also know not to struggle in quicksand and I’d be way more confused if that appeared in my daily routine.
quicksand is far less of an issue than i was lead to believe in my youth
