Two boys who had gone out to build a snow fort were inadvertently trapped for several hours in a Newburgh, New York, snow bank when a plow operator clearing a parking lot pushed snow over them, not realizing they were there, officials said.

We were taught as kids (long ago) not to build snow forts or caves where a snow plow could come anywhere close to it. Not only could we be buried in it, but it could make a mess out of all our work. Those kids were lucky. What would add to the stupidity, they would probably sue the plow driver.

That is who I worried about,after finding out that the kids were safe. The guy was just clearing the lot as fast as he could and on to the next job.This could have turned out really bad. Kids will not realize how lucky they are. Until they have children.

Kids will not realize how lucky they are. Until they have children.

Based on the interviews I've seen, I think they know how lucky they were now.
