Eleven days ago, as he felt himself being crushed from head to toe, Andrew Jepson was certain he was about to die.

he survived being run over by

mph.

“I was looking away and then I just felt it go over my leg”, he said. “I fell to the floor and felt this amazing pain in my leg as it was being crushed.”

“When I felt it running over me I thought this is it, I’m dead. Nobody can survive this.”

“There was absolutely nothing I could do. The pain was horrendous and all the air was being crushed out of my lungs.”

“I couldn’t breathe. I thought every breath would be my last.”

The machine took more than a second to roll over Mr. Jepson’s bod y.

“It came over my head but I had my hard hat on which must have blocked most of the pressure,” he said.

Workmates believed he would be dead but the uneven surface, foundation for a road, cushioned much of the weight of the roller and saved him.

“Afterwards I tried to get straight up,”he said. “I was fully conscious. I was in shock but for some reason I thought, ‘If I stay down, I will die.’”

“Luckily a labourer ran over and kept me down so that I would not do any more injury to myself.”

“The driver rushed over. He was really upset. I said, ‘You are not to blame, it was just an accident.’”

Mr. Jepson, a site engineer, suffered crushed ribs, bruising, cuts and a collapsed left lung but escaped permanent injury. An air ambulance arrived and doctors operated at the scene.

He spent two days in intensive care but six days later was back at his parents’ home near Spalding, Lincolnshire.

“It is like being born again,” said Mr. Jepson, who has amazed doctors with his recovery.

“When I came around from the anaesthet ic I just cried with joy. Being able to walk and breathe again is the most wonderful thing in the world.”

Mr. Jepson’s 62-year-old father, John, said, “When we heard he had been under a roller I feared the worst. We prayed all the way to the hospital. To s ee him now is just wonderful.”

Mr. Jepson’s employer, construction firm Laing, said the accident was still being investigated.

Sand: as children we play on it and as adults we relax on it. It is something we complain about when it gets in our eyes on a windy beach, and praise when it is made into sand castles.

But we don’t often look at it. If we did, we would discover an account of a geological past and a history of sea life that goes back thousands and, in some cases, mil- lions of years.

Sand covers not just seashores, but also ocean beds, deserts

and mountains. And it is a major element in manufactured products too - concrete is largely sand, while glass is made of little else.

Well, it is larger than fine dust and smaller than shingle. In fact, according to the
