[00:36:06] <exec> 08└─The problem with sand is that it tends to leak out of the hole. It's also less portable. I have no doubt that it absorbs more energy, but it does have some significant practical limitations. This is also why nuclear weapons are designed to explode before impact. The soil absorbs a ton of energy.
