Thanks for watching. I was there 5 minutes before it started. Came across a couple of people looking like bird watchers. I wasn't sure if it was just a trickle or would stop. And, If you thought I was stupid for standing in front of it.... One of the most fascinating things was this guy sitting on the rocks about 75 yrs south (to the right). While the cliff was not falling over there, everyone was yelling at him to get away from the cliff. When i started filming he was still there, I kept panning to the right to see if he had moved. Fortunately he did, and a couple minutes later where he stood was 6 feed covered in rocks. I saw him on the way out, told him what i saw, and said he was the luckyest man on the beach. :-) There's just a little more video, but nothing as exciting, it almost stopped when i turned off this clip.

If only there were some sort of technology by which this could be recorded in a widescreen format or horizontal orientation to capture the true beauty of this experience.

Good cliffhanger stopping the video when the entire cliff starts to fall down.

The Paraglider at 2:49 wasn’t expected. Cool 😎

Good catch, BUT, there's a reason that tv/movies are LANDSCAPE and not portrait. Why do cell phone camera users not understand that? Turn them horizontal folks!

The portrait of that landscape was brilliantly filmed.

Jeff Spicolli narrates a rock slide. Radical Mr. Hand…radical.

Initially I thought this video was going to be too long and I wouldn't have the patience to watch it all. But then slowly it got really fascinating and I didn't want it to end!!!

Even though watching this made me feel somewhat anxious, there was still something very naturally soothing and organic about it.

That was fascinating - how suddenly all this dirt would pour out of what looked like a hole in the rock. Like the rock was just crust over the dirt rubble. So interesting. 😍

I’ve been telling this to my friends for years. Californias coast has always been this way it’s natural and it’s how it’s supposed to work. The problem is they built a bunch of houses and businesses right by these cliffs and they’re shocked that it’s eroding. Like it hasn’t been doing that for the thousands of years. The funniest part is I’m not even from San Diego. I’m from Chicago and I’ve just lived out there for 10 years and actually put in some effort to learn about where I moved to. But people who’ve lived there for their entire life don’t understand this.

This is the craziest event I’ve seen that fully portrays the sheer power of nature. I wish to one day experience something like this in person
