Dünen Unglück Dänemark: A Tragic Incident at Nørre Vorupør Beach

Tragedy Strikes at Nørre Vorupør Beach

The police are reporting a tragic accident involving two German boys aged nine and twelve who died after a mishap while playing at a beach in Nørre Vorupør, northern Denmark. As the local Danish police stated, the boys were from the Munich area. Rescue teams worked tirelessly to dig them out, but they were buried for approximately 40 minutes before being freed. They were subsequently airlifted to a hospital. Sadly, clarity on their condition remained elusive until it was confirmed that both boys passed away on Tuesday evening, according to police sources from Central Jutland.

Details Surrounding the Incident

According to preliminary police findings, the boys were digging a cave in the dunes when it likely triggered the landslide. Recent heavy rain may have increased the risk of landslides along the coast. The cause of the accident remains unclear. Benny Bak, head of the rescue station, recounted to the Danish broadcaster DR that the boys had been warned just moments earlier, “They jumped from the dunes and were about to dig a hole,” Bak said. His colleague advised them to leave the area due to potential danger.

Rescue Efforts and Aftermath

After the landslide, the boys were found under heavy sand and grass clumps. It took a tractor and cables to remove the debris before the boys could be freed. Tragically, the two children hailed from separate families. Their parents were present on-site during the incident.
