Exploring the Sunken City Cliff Collapse in San Pedro

[@brandonmckissic8816]

This is the coolest. You guys do such great work!

[@stephenskinner4857]

The guy has a very cool and easy to listen to voice. Many people in public positions to speak have irritating voices. This guys demeanor and voice are a nature for more than this single video. I lived in San Pedro for years. I miss the old California I grew up with. The World TODAY is not at its best.

[@chacahut4717]

I gotta say this youtube channel is the best when it comes to exploration of Abandoned/haunted places I hope to see you guys post more often and grow your audience. Good job and thank you for this channel.

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you so much! We're big fans of other explorers and channels and appreciate their hard work. And we certainly hope to grow our audience. We're currently working on a special edition episode to air later this month and hope to see you again :)

[@Tom10101010]

Finally a video with information about what happened, sick of seeing youtubers go to places, not explain the history and say "WOAH, SICK, DUDE, CRAZY"! Thanks for the insight.

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you for watching!

[@BeyondTheCompass817]

That looked like it was a lot of fun to film. Hey, serious props on the graphics showing the chunk of land sliding into the ocean! That really gave the viewer an idea of the scope of the landslide. As always, a great video. Do you two have any plans to attend any expos/conventions coming up, such as Vid Con?

[@OddityOdysseys]

We weren't sure we would even be able to get in, so once we could and that pressure was off, it was a lot of fun! Drew's VFX skills are the best of the best for sure. We would love to go to a convention. Heard about a travel one in Long Beach? Thanks again for all your support!

[@BeyondTheCompass817]

Oddity Odysseys A travel expo in Long Beach? No, I haven't, but I'll check it out. I've been to the one the LA Times puts on. BTW, I just uploaded a new review video to my channel this morning. I don't know if you're into Tarot cards, but I humbly invite you to check it out. Thanks again, you two rock!

[@jedizelfknight]

You could just walk along the fence from the park and it ends that's another way to get into sunken city, there's also a big dugout hole there as well

[@brillblonde6705]

Great episode! Your shots are beautiful, and good blending the historical with the present. Overhead shot of the Sunken City is fabulous near the end. Ooooh, that shot of Bethany sitting on the edge of the cliff made my hair stand on end! Brave girl! Thanks for another fascinating Oddity Odyssey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thecenterofthesouthland3697]

After she gets done talking about how its dangerous and falling off a cliff into the ocean .. she goes and sits right at the edge of one !!

[@OLuvin]

Another great find (another place I've never knew about) and great video!

[@vvarietyshow]

We love this place too and had a lot of fun filming it. Great episode!

[@OddityOdysseys]

It looked like it wasn't too crowded when you guys went. And loved the drone shots! We only took ours our for about 15 minutes out of fear haha but you guys made sure to capture everything...Thank you, friend!

[@vvarietyshow]

Yeah we got lucky and visited on a weekday, wasn't too bad. We actually went back to get the drone shots because we didn't get enough the first time, haha. Unfortunately we just lost the drone in Brooklyn, NY haha...time to upgrade. Thanks for the videos!

[@MartyInLa]

I just went there a few weeks ago in May 2023. Less left to see, less tracks, less remnants of the road, pretty much less of everything.

In the Navy in 1974 I went down there a couple of times. Looks like a lot more has fallen since including a collapsed road way that use to allow east access to beach. No fences then.

[@mskeishapac]

Wow I never new about that I use to drive the bus 444,445,446,to Gaffy to the Korean Bell. Thanks for the info.

[@gordybishop2375]

[@joaquinncisneros5886]

I use to park on Paseo Del Mar to have lunch not from Jackstat st where the fence is now. Now it's a quiet area because you can't connect to Western Ave and no more traffic through there only the residents.

[@hectoryanez6449]

You guys are the best😱🙌🏽

3:42 Nicely framed shot. Appropriate psychedelic color at the edge of a sunken city.

[@Zorilita]

Have you guys been to the abandoned hollydale or Los amigos mental hospital behind the Downey courthouse? It's an entire little city... 56 Descanso Drive I believe it is.

[@richfranck7620]

Another great episode! Bummer that the land is shifting so much, but I don’t know what they expected to happen. I rank that right up there with building the city of New Orleans below, sea level. Eventually, nature will prevail. Sad but true.

[@lia.azzles1328]

Lmao . There’s a park right there , it would’ve been easier going over from there .❤️

Nice to see this, I visited the usa 25 years ago and explored that area, there was illegal access from the lighthouse park.

[@benaya_huasca]

It can be accessed legally if you walk up the coast from Cabrillo Beach. However, I always slip through the fence like everyone else lol.

[@MikeKnoxComedy]

cool and thanks again for directions!

[@amyyoshikawa7698]

Hi I just took a trip up there with my friend. We didn’t go down below the actual sunken city in San Pedro. The view is stunning from the Point Fermin Park. 👍😀

Will do! Thanks for watching. We'd love to start exploring other cities as well, so stay tuned!

Used to go there all the time back in the mid 90's before the fences & the park. Was the only place to take the dog to the beach in la

[@mattf49006]

90s?..before fences and the park?..dude I'm in my 60s and my grandparents used to picnic there as young ppl courting...there was chain link before the steel fence too

We used to party back in the late seventies at Sunken City bring out the boombox cases of beer.. cops never mess with us and there was never a fence there..

[@justme-n-gracie]

back in my day when I was young and explored this place many times there was an untrue rumor that it was caused by a tsunami... of course this was waaaay before the internet and information was a lot harder to dig up... and there were NO FENCES then! We also used to party at night down at Cabrillo Beach until we got into a fight with a bunch of rowdy drunk football players and my friend was badly beaten and his El Camino wrecked... that was my last trip there at night lol. Great videos! keep up the good work!

OMG...you answer my question that I been wondering what I stumbled upon in the summer if 1982! I came upon this area by accident and explored the area at great length that day wondering what have become of this place. I was told nearby there was an oyster plant that was destroyed by the gov't in fear of the Japanese navy (this was beginning of World war 2) as a landmark navigation. Thank you so much for this show solving this mystery!

From the distance is beautiful too! Be safe and if you find a good, clear opening to go in, give it a try :) Worse comes to worse you'll just be asked to leave...along with anyone else there haha

[@myraisshort7208]

thanks for the advice ❤

[@EnclaviousFiraga]

Wimp. You're scared you might fall? Well... You are right to be scared. The entire cliff area is notorious for people falling and... You guessed it! Hitting the rocks at terminal speed from the height of 300+ feet. I can almost guarantee an exhilarating but quick demise. And if you are still alive you'll wish you were dead from having every single bone turned into bone meal.

[@nadiemequire]

Can't offer much info, but there used to be underground missile silos in that area. Might be worth researching. Really enjoy your videos.

Near by that place is Fort MacArthur, an old WW2 fort. That is the location where, during WW2, and object, presubably a UFO, appeared over the fort and the military opened fire on the object ultimately causing property damage and killing 2 citizen, one from a heart attack from stress and another from falling shrapnel. This incident is popularly known as the Battle of Los Angeles. To this day no one knows what that object truly was. Every February, the Fort, which is now a museum, does a reenactment of the event with some of their WW2 era equipment and is pretty fun where people dress in period attire and get some food. OO should do a video of that event at some point.

Yes Second City was caused by the city of Los Angeles they didn't catch a leaky storm water pipe and it eroded underneath where Second City is and cause the landslide. In 2004 when we had 32 inches of rain they also had another landslide that dropped about 32 ft. By the way george Peck was the Grand wizard of the Klu Klux Klan.

Just a heads up, police are heavily cracking down on trespassers in this area! I would advise anyone to avoid the Sunken City for the time being and the foreseeable future.

I wanted to share this warning with you all before you consider venturing out! Go at your own risk!
