Scarry Video: Cliff Collapse Sends Onlookers Running

A shocking video capturing a dramatic rockfall along the South West Coast Path at West Bay has surfaced, reminding everyone of the unpredictable power of nature. The footage, originally shared by Dorset Council, quickly gained attention online.

Coastal Danger Caught on Camera
The video, taken by Daniel Knagg, showcases the dangerous beauty of the coastline. As sections of the cliff crumbled into the sea, the realisation of immediate danger prompted onlookers to flee for safety.

 

Unstable Cliffs Shaped by Erosion
These coastal cliffs, while visually stunning, are unstable due to natural processes like erosion and weathering. Over millions of years, these forces have worn down the cliffs, making them prone to sudden and dramatic collapses.

Natural Forces at Play
Rockfalls and landslips are part of the ongoing geological shaping of coastlines. While they are a natural occurrence, this video highlights the need for vigilance when exploring such areas. The unpredictability of these events, which can happen without warning, poses a real danger to those in the vicinity.

Safety Reminder for Coastal Walkers
This incident is a reminder for walkers to exercise caution, especially when traversing popular paths like the South West Coast Path, where rockfalls can occur at any moment.
