Coastal Erosion Pacifica, Ca

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

Perspective and proximity. The view from the land showing the expanse of the ocean, the depth, breadth and power of the waves working 24/7 against something as static and permeable as dirt, stones and sand only reminds me of my Dad's belief that water, in all it's various forms, is the most powerful element of all. Time will tell. :)

[@michaelbrin9984]

Pacifica is a good name for this place, because that's where it's all going....

Calaforny ain't shake and bake right now, it's flood, mud, and crud.

[@richeoyervides4903]

Wow! With the erosion and the San Andreas fault together with the earthquakes, poor California.

[@hebneh]

One ought not to build anything near the edge of a cliff composed of soft material, and the ocean washing up against it.

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

hebneh One should THINK!!!!!!!! Before posting SHIT FOR BRAINS COMMENTS. And do some research on when they where built. How many years ago. And look at pictures 53 years ago. Shit, Shit for brains.

[@elizabethwhiteoak5291]

@@garlandremingtoniii1338 I concur! Several hundred yards of cliff top real estate have been washed away since those houses were built. I don't like reading "Captain Hindsight" comments any more than you do!

You were there the same day as 'flyin cameras' for the teardown of 310 Esplanade? I don't doubt that yas must know each other, then. I remember he said that he was told to stop filming with his drone! Were you? Love your videos, btw. I don't live in America but you have a new sub because it's very interesting t9 compare the erosion over time. Thanks for your dedication!

[@nunyabiznez6381]

If they want to save that cliff they're going to need a lot more boulders.

THIS IS SUCH A HISTORIC EVENT. I LIVED TWO MILES EAST FROM HERE.

Good thing you didn't live west of there.

[@bearmerica6668]

I'm waiting for those multimillion dollar homes in Thiburon houses I've been in with the best views of the Golden Gate to collapse. It's crazy they build them so close to the edge there.

[@andrewvillanueva4222]

Those homes in tiburon wouldn't face the same situation. There is no massive waves hitting the shore.

[@danalewis1535]

I always wonder why in movies they have that bridge collapsing. Thank you for your observation, Makes you wonder!!!!!

[@vinmorin]

ha ha love that there is one that caught fire... he must of been insured for fire but not earth erosion

[@harleywebe]

Well, insurance doesn’t pay for the earth moving, but does pay for fire. Just have to make sure evidence points to an “accident “.

[@missesjohnson]

What's with the water spray as the machines tear through the building?

[@firstman9273]

Tries to prevent dust from escaping. There can be toxins like asbestos and other nasties. Just normal clean dust can be a hazard. It will be part of of the demolition contract that the company has to have dust prevention.

[@jeanettecoleman-mz7ie]

ASBESTOS

[@hebneh]

I don't believe that was a "dwelling", considering that a bunch of junked vehicles were jammed into the paved area in front of it.

[@mariannesouza8326]

I agree.

The people on the other side of the street are going to have a nice view lot for a few years.

[@DanielleWalcott]

Incredible footage!

[@leilanihanaike]

You should have gotten video of the pathway going down to the beach right there when it caved in a week ago.

[@crabhawk3775]

I got some excellent shots of the pathway. In fact CNN, Channel 2, 3, 7 used my footage.I will post it soon please subscribe so you don't miss it when I do!

[@duncan5163]

I'm just watching this video for the first time, i used to live in California, born and raised actually, the coast has been eroding for as long as i can remember. The erosion didn't just start simiprogames, its been going on for years. There is another video where it shows what the coast looked like in 1997 along that same apartment complex, it still had 50 yards of terrain off the back of them. our ocean is slowly rising due to polar icecaps melting.

[@Toekneepowers]

Those ugly shithole should have been gone long ago.

[@faithrada]

abarronboy It certainly does not seem fair that that complex got to bock the coastal view for everyone else. Nature fixed that.

[@limerent72]

@Duncan, I'll look for that video, would be interesting to see what it used to look like with 50 yards of cliff intact.

[@johnemerson1363]

I spent 22 years watching a house on a Palisade at Pacific Coast Highway and Chautauqua Blvd in Santa Monica, CA. It started with a half acre back yard. When I saw it last in 1994, the entire back yard was gone and I could see the underside of the patio concrete slab. Every year it rained, and every year the palisade washed away. Several years later I watched the house finally crash down the 60-70 foot embankment to the bottom of the slope. I learned that the owner was allowed to build, knowing that in 30 to 40 years erosion would destroy his house.

[@accident49]

I see the same pictures on almost every Video posts on KZbin. Is there any other place that being destroyed on the Wesley coast are is it only in that place?

[@bobesposito7235]

How long will it be before the people across the street will no longer be safe.

[@rammerjammer523]

The whole fing state can fall in the ocean.

[@Clearanceman2]

Do you have anything newer? Want to see what the cliff looks like now.

[@snowballil3133]

Crab Hawk aww hope you feel better soon. °•°•get well•°•°

[@BrianLarin]

What do you expect building on sand?

[@richardgalli7262]

The erosion has been occurring since day one.

[@wwinky99]

Are they spraying water to keep the dust down or is there some other reason. Does anyone know?

[@crabhawk3775]

Yes it was to keep the dust down from drifting towards the houses across the street in case the ocean wind picked up.

[@wwinky99]

Thank you Crab Hawk

[@blarfneggs3728]

I'm thinking the buildings probably have asbestos in them. Because no remediation can be done they are using the water to keep the friable material from becoming airborne.

[@Devrimapak]

This is how mother nature rules the human. It says kinda "if you don't pull your from my coasts, i do care!!"

[@franklesser5655]

It's almost as if the coast is falling into the ocean!

[@flyby2300]

Sea-level-rise is leading to large-scale & much faster coastal-erosion.

[@77goanywhere]

I knew someone would cry "climate change" regarding this. How do you think those cliffs got there in the first place? There is VERY LITTLE appreciable sea level rise, and nobody can claim that any of it is due to "global warming".

[@pawpaw4911]

I would suggest getting EVERY business to move across the street.

[@crabhawk3775]

David Randolph excellent suggestion, my business is 2 blocks east of the ocean but I suspect time and ocean encroachment will take it's toll. I remember back in the 80s there was a trail and 100 feet of cliff where those buildings are.

[@stephentresca3536]

Before those apartments were torn down

[@jdizzy60]

So, what happens if your property falls and literally doesn’t exist anymore..?

[@crabhawk3775]

A quite unfortunate situation. The price people pay for location. If one has insurance perhaps they can initiate a claim.

[@ericrembold]

You have a worthless asset with only a mortgage to remind you of the good times. Insurance generally does not cover earth movement.

To keep down any dust and particulates and any possible asbestos drift.

[@xgtiguy]

look at Google Earth. the last image taken was bout June 2014. and this had not happened yet. the power of nature.

[@danburch9989]

Google Earth history shows that in March 2015 the building intact. The back of the house was about 22 ft from the cliff edge. April 2016 it's shown as burned. The cliff has eroded up to the very back of the house. Sure looks suspicious. Couldn't sell the house because of the erosion. Might have burned to collect insurance. I'm sure that was considered.

[@Clearanceman2]

It says 2016 but it's not. The apartment buildings are still there and people are living in them.

[@danburch9989]

Living on the edge, I guess.

[@Clearanceman2]

Dan Burch No, I mean google earth shows copyright 2016 but the image is well before that because the apartments that have since been taken down are still there and haven't even been evacuated.

[@FNK-1401]

why is it only startng to erode now and why so fast

[@crabhawk3775]

This has been eroding for years in fact there used to be 60 plus feet of cliff but after each subsequent "Large" storm the cliff face erodes at a faster pace. we thought there was years of ground remaining, but how wrong we were.

[@FNK-1401]

[@formica4266]

First, it really should be exceptional ignorant, and on the sandy shore build a house. Secondly, it is a state that allows to the ground, which is not a building, any kind of building facility protected. Third themselves are to blame for all this allowed. I remember that the communist government in Yugoslavia, middle of the last century, made a complete geological map of Yugoslavia and no one, no way, he could not raise no temporary obejakat in a place where it is not allowed.

[@orgami100]

FORMICA ..It wasn't originally that close to the cliff. ..

[@formica4266]

Jason Wilson Of course it was not close to the edge. But do not know how fast performances erosion? It is easy to calculate when they will be vulnerable and buildings and residents themselves. In particular, the access should stabilize the coast, there tetrapod, any concrete framework and shirts, there may be some solutions and suspensions, or do not allow the construction.

[@orgami100]

Those apartment also believe there's also a motel, looks like they been there for quite a few years. .probably lots of expensive things can be done in order to stabilize the shoreline .. have you seen the La Conchita landslide...? I've lived Ocean Hillside view for a while it's an amazing sight.. I'm sure the occupants where crying when the had to abandon their dwellings.. Definitely not a location for sleep walker's. ...:)

When all was built there was at least 50 yards of cliff (half a football field) , but after multiple harsh storms (el Nino's) beginning in 1982 the erosion has been ongoing and more severe.

[@leilanihanaike]

That building is owned by a towing company. They bought it a few years ago. Those guys are not the brightest so I have the feeling that they managed to start a fire somehow. Doubt it was on purpose. The section that fell there was VERY sudden, like a good 12 feet just dropped off out of nowhere. I live in the area.
