Brad Goll of Austin, Texas, works to turn 150 tons of sand into a giant sandcastle on June 27, in Pittsburgh's Point Park. After ten days of sculpting, the project will be finished for the start of the Pittsburgh Regatta, July 2.

Sand castle made of 150 tons of sand in Pittsburgh

By Chris A Wilson

150 tons is equal to 30,000 pounds of sand. As I see it, it's like setting up a line of dominoes: if you knock one over, the whole setup is ruined and comes falling down. I hope Brad Goll doesn't pile up too much sand or knock into it accidentally.
