[Speaking as a mod]
I won't remove this post, as different realisations for /æ/ is an on-topic subject.

However, I'd like to ask users here to present information in a way that is conductive to discussion, and a bit more in-depth than just a video showing transcriptions of a bunch of Hermitcraft players saying "sand", OK? Put a bit more effort on the post, please, this would be a damn great post if you highlighted how those different pronunciations are spread across English speakers.
