Aftermath of Storm Babet (South Shields pier & Tynemouth pier) destruction on both pier heads

hi guys just a small video of the damage caused by storm Babet on South Shields and Tynemouth pier, the strong easterly wind caused the sea to be savage and ripped the north east coastline apart. Blyth pier and Roker pier were both damaged during the storm too.

EXCELLENT THANK YOU FOR THAT

[@thenortherntideriders]

You're very welcome 🙏

[@Spannerface]

incredible force to move stone that size on both piers..be closed for a yr now

[@arkious]

Saddening to be honest, something most of the town holds close to their heart. I really hope it gets restored back to its former glory. Hope you can get some closer footage once the sea calms 👍🏻 brilliant video

[@thenortherntideriders]

Hope so! Think it will be late summer before it’s reopen again

[@arniec5707]

Great drone footage 👍 mother nature is brutal in her force , hopefully it'll be restored back to how it was

[@thenortherntideriders]

Nothing can stop Mother Nature , shear strength and power of the sea is phenomenal. I hope so too🙏

[@Clarney]

Some great footage. I'm always a bit weary about flying my drone over water, more so when coupled with wind. What drone are you using here? I did a Tynemouth video myself back in August. Thanks for sharing.

Eventually the sea destroys everything - it has all the time in the world

[@chrismcconkey1919]

Great drone piloting mate It’s not ideal weather for living on a boat 😂

[@thenortherntideriders]

Thanks 🙏 haha I could imagine it be horrendous haha

[@Christinemorley-v1g]

I actually live in south shields ive been here

[@georgeprokopenko3044]

super

[@michaelford4732]

years of neglect

[@keithrobinson7346]

Bullshit that pier has tested the most adverse conditions, but like everything, time catches up. The brickwork around the pier proves it. Sadly, things aren't built like that, I mean, the way they are today!!

[@stephenbrown5672]

That is unbelievable av walked down that pier a hundred times and the beatings it’s had over the years and this storm broke it 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@thenortherntideriders]

Just shows the shear power of the sea 💪

[@irond3146]

Is it still going to be open?

[@robertfisher8111]

Not anytime soon. A full structural assessment will have to be done, including below the waterline to see how much damage has been done.

[@neiljohnson1293]

Unless the people have came out the van there's 2 on the pier at 56 seconds

[@thenortherntideriders]

Will be closed for at least 6 month 😢

[@jimmyoconnell6167]

Is the peir shut now ,,?

[@thenortherntideriders]

Certainly is 😢

[@cluckhorndeleted9382]

The damage was enormous

[@OGFlake]

mibor damage pointless restoring it its not worth it unless they build a dock for migrants in the dingies
