Defund our infrastructure and support foreign wars

Old warf that should have collapsed ages ago collapsed.......... Climate change!

Dude’s shirt
IYKYK

It's only going to get worst, they should upgrade those to be made out of concrete all the way around to reinforce the pier.

They need to knock down the whole thing and rebuild. I’m not quite sure how it stood this long.

Environmental clowns stopped the repairs that needed to be done.

Learn from the three little pigs and rebuild with precast, prestressed concrete poles and reinforced concrete deck.

'Before & after' - but not during !?
'What that' - saving it for later or what !?

I live in Massachusetts and 10 years ago I when I visited my uncle, who lived in the Santa Cruz area, he took me to eat at the Dolphin Restaurant on the pier, right in the section that collapsed. My uncle passed away last year. Two months ago, his wife posted on Facebook lamenting that the Dolphin had closed. It was a favorite restaurant of theirs. After the collapse of the pier and news videos showing the Dolphin washing away to sea, she said that my uncle would have been heartbroken at this.

Honestly, I was surprised to hear this thing was still standing. Last time I visited was 20 years ago, and it was already a complete eyesore and ready to fall into the sea. I cant believe they were still letting people walk out on it all these years later.

Solstice....Winter is here

Camera dude is a p____.
Where he was standing was stable.

It will take them 49 years to rebuild with California regulations and permit process. It will probably cost 10 million then balloon to 300 million. That's called California efficiency.

Pier

None of these people got video of the collapse?! Unbelievable.

As they said at the beginning, the Ventura Pier and the other local piers to it were closed. Why that wasn't done for Santa Cruz wharf, I don't know, I thought it was standard procedure for high surf days, never mind one that was actively being repaired and badly in need of it. That it got damaged isn't unusual, that's what happens with piers and wharfs absent a very rigorous maintenance schedule like Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara. Ventura Pier has probably been damaged 3 or 4 times since 1998.

The whole title didn't appear, so I assumed it said Santa Claus and instantly clicked in horror

To anyone that uses their phone to record SOMETHING, do it in landscape and KEEP RECORDING THE THING!

Trump's America

Maintain your forests while you’re at it.

"Whapusha!"

When you think something is about to collapse, maybe you should keep filming :D

So where’s the video?

Where did that giant swell come from? What caused it and why wasn't there any warning ahead of time? Was there an earthquake out in the ocean somewhere or elsewhere that created the swell? Was it caused by a weather formation and if so, why was there no warning it was coming? I just don't get this.

Poor filming. He cut AWAY as it started to crumble.

Amazing. No one has blamed Trump yet.

WHY tf were they OUT THERE when there was a STORM WARNING??!!

Wow.

A wharf runs parallel to the shore while a pier runs perpendicular to the shore. So if it's sticking out from the shore it's a pier , if it's running along the shore it's a wharf. Come on people let's get things right!!

Instead of warning people, he takes out his camera and MISSES THE SHOT

I think our gvt intended for it to be much, worse.

Ya know. If those Californians would just pay more taxes nature wouldn't do this stuff.

Gave in to pier pressure

Piers Morgan was not involved.

Rich people's problems! 🥱

Sure. Don't try to warn the people at the end of the pier....record their demise.
Pathetic.

not worthy of a story since the camera man turned and missed the shot we all wanted to see, what a waste of time reviewing this.

This is all Biden fault! If President elected Trump is the president, he would have build a wall around the piers and the wave will never be able to come across and destroy America's property!!! MAGA

Old wood constantly soaked in water deteriorates over time.
End of story.

"Oh no run run We already on land but something in the water is about to give way. Help Help" Fkn Psy

Resonating ..Waves..

A kid needs another dad with a brain.
