Have you ever heard this excuse from someone? "I'm sorry but I just can't grow a beard". Well maybe they should try a bit harder just in case they get trapped in say, a sandstorm? That's exactly what 64 year old John White used to stop himself from suffocating and being buried alive by a vicious desert storm The Australian reports. White's truck had rolled over in the Simpson desert in southwest Queensland on Tuesday where he has trapped by the storm for 10 hours before being rescued.
