40 YEARS ago (I was working at Alarmex) and met an engineer on that pier who wanted advice to add a couple cameras underneath to keep an eye on the place to watch for deterioration.

It wouldn't have done anything. A city too lazy to annually survey & repair a structure subject to continuous marine stresses is also too lazy to note anything beyond the camera/monitor working in between coffee breaks.

pretty insane how it doesn't. literally nobody cares after it or shows interest. people just expand business on it like it's indestructible mythril. people are asking for this.
It reminds me of the way other people like my relatives make me believe about my life exclusively. Why do I have to develop an inferiority complex to my parents Bonnie and Terry Tipton, as well as my sister Shawn Noone, her husband and sons? I feel like I am in a psychological torture chamber of failure, and everyone else has succeeded. It is too much to take. I just want to go away and never see these people again. Except I have been made financially dependent on the pension of my parents.
Yup like the guy filming and whoever was editing should look for other work. Tell us how it is about to collapse then switch to another channel. Idiot Mickey Ds is hiring get another job mo-ron.
There were other camera angles also that captured the event. A matter of fact, there are cameras everywhere the public is. For whatever reason it was purposely edited and not shown. The people running for safety weren't the only ones filming. But let the ignorant patting each other on the back think otherwise.😉
Swaying means nothing. You have never been in a skyscraper in a storm, or on a boat at sea or anywhere. Swaying means that the structure is moving with the motion. Cracks are a warning sign, swaying is business as usual.

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.
@@NewJerseyPops-s5i The point is that I live on the other side of the country and had visited the wharf on a trip to California to visit my uncle, and that this is a story that made national news.

Yes indeed about those 3 people. One big question for me is why do I have to develop an inferiority complex to all of my relatives, the Tiptons, Noones, Blevins, etc?

The big question in my mind is why does it seem I am trapped in a situation in which I have to develop an inferiority complex to my parents Bonnie and Terry Tipton, and other relatives. It is constant psychological torture. I believe Terry Tipton has had a condescending attitude for decades. He makes condescending comments while watching television, anyone who does not have the same political viewpoints as him, and anyone in the NBA and NFL. He just talks like none are up to his intellect and standard of judgement. So, I do not actually like being around him. I do not recall ever having admitted to making a mistake. And he has generally had the same attitude towards me, I just heard him tell his wife, my mother, to make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I would describe Terry Tipton as a Democrat who has disdain for Republicans. And he thinks one purpose of a wife is to serve him. My experience with women in my life, those who I worked with and went to college with would tell their boyfriend or husband "to go "f--k' yourself if their boyfriend or husband ever told them to do that. I guess my mother has needed a husband who is also a boss.

How did yhose people standing out there just keep standing and looking out at the water as the warf is swaying? I'd be running back after the 2nd sway.
Ive fished right there decades ago....Those waves, everso often, are known to get up there sometimes....Those waves took out part of the Marguritaville restaurant back in the day....Had friends in Aptos and all over back the late 9os.... Santa Cruz was different back then...
Bad weather usually means the big ones are feeding...at least in fresh water. My friend and I drove 120 miles to go catfishing but a storm with hard rain moved in. So we drank beer on a houseboat with my cousin to try the perch through the trapdoor. I cast out in the middle of the river off the back porch and immediately started catching big catfish. I kept just one and it was large enough to feed 4 people fried filets with some left over.
This wharf not being fixed is ENTIRELY the fault of local activists. From Wikipedia: "On December 23, 2024, an approximately 150-foot (46 m) section at the end of the wharf collapsed due to high waves. The wharf had accumulated a backlog of necessary repairs prior to the collapse, but engineers were unable to implement the repairs due to CEQA lawsuits by local NIMBY activists."
The elephant in the room! The pice of heavy equipment sitting on the fisherman’s wharf! It’s got to be approaching 100 years old! I fished it with my dad and I’m nearly 80 years old!
I just saw that the wharf was already closed because of earlier damage and the three people who where on it when the collapse happened were actually city inspectors who were assessing that damage
I used to back my van in, hit the restaurant, throw out a couple fishing poles, turn on my TV, kick back in my van watching my fishing poles while watching tv all night long, no more parking over night kinda sux now
PEOPLE!!! If you are ever filming something like this, do not stop and run away. You will be protected. The cameraman never dies. Have you not noticed? It saddens me in this day and age when some really great footage was missed due to people selfishly running for their lives, when they could be providing entertainment to dozens if not hundreds of viewers. Just keep filming. And if you do decide to run and then submit weak footage to the local station, as the cameraman did here, be sure they make it clear that the footage missed the important part.
This is why they need to use Type 5 concrete piles, they can drill in to bedrock. Concrete, steel reinforced Cassions are unbeatable, Concrete is ever lasting! How do you think Venice, Italy is still standing? Volcanic aggregate mixed with cement will last thousands of years. Just look at the Colosseum in Rome. When will these engineers learn! Yes I am a Concrete Contractor! May God bless everyone 🌲✝️🇺🇸!
Venice stands on hundreds of thousands of wooden piles, though that's changing as modern repairs are made. The city was founded after Rome fell and concrete went into disuse. Your larger point stands, but I thought you should know.
@ The reason I brought it up, I was in a book store perhaps 30+ years ago. Looking at ancient.construction methods, and it was on Ancient Rome. So the gentleman next to me, announced he was a Structural Engineer and had traveled all over the world. He told me that the ancient Romans would use slaves to carry concrete in baskets to the bottom of the seafloor to build cassions. This is the only reason I brought it up. Perhaps in the continued retrofitting in Venice, they went to Wood piles.? Thank you for your comment!
They removed the planks across the whole width of the wharf to repair it but so weakened it that it broke in high seas. Hundreds of piers scattered past the harbor, much of it old and rotten. Sad to see the sea lion viewing holes gone.
@@jasonjones7451 What a bummer. I used to ride the bus there as a kid, all the way from Watsonville where I lived, just to walk around the Santa Cruz Beach & Boardwalk. I used to visit the shops there at the base of the pier and ride the roller coaster.
I hope wharf engineers will make sturdy, heavy duty concrete structures for the next pier that is built on that site. They will probably say, " It would cost too much".....
"...the current Municipal Wharf was constructed in 1914, with its end bent to the west for a steamship dock and freight warehouse." (City of Santa Cruz)
““And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”” Luke 21:25-28
@ Thats the thing though. I been hearing that it’s not time especially not in my lifetime. But then I go back to the word of God. “This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.” 2 Peter 3:1-7
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!!

@@jasonjones7451 What a bummer. I used to ride the bus there as a kid, all the way from Watsonville where I lived, just to walk around the Santa Cruz Beach & Boardwalk. I used to visit the shops there at the base of the pier and ride the roller coaster.
And…how many new designs for a new pier are on the books? The money for upkeep was?
Did anyone die or on the pier when it happened??
No so far.
None of these people got video of the collapse?! Unbelievable.
Nothing like fishing during a storm
I hope wharf engineers will make sturdy, heavy duty concrete structures for the next pier that is built on that site. They will probably say, " It would cost too much".....
weather is getting more tumultuous. i wonder who could have predicted this.
Bro the title was cut off and i thought Santa Claus mightve gotten taken out
What's a wharf doing there in the first place?
"...the current Municipal Wharf was constructed in 1914, with its end bent to the west for a steamship dock and freight warehouse." (City of Santa Cruz)
Where’s the new video?
Looked like a 100 ton crane on the pier. Did that go in too?
The Iowa window replacement advertisement is a complete scam.
Seems like alot of American infrastructure is falling apart
I started fishing from end of the pier when I was 14 I'm 71 now and it doesn't look a whole lot different except for a little paint.
Well it might be a little shorter.
““And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.””
Luke 21:25-28

Thats the thing though. I been hearing that it’s not time especially not in my lifetime.
But then I go back to the word of God.
“This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles, knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.”
2 Peter 3:1-7
I can't even count how many times I've stood right there. So glad everyone is OK.
Sent the wharf into the water?
Why does he keep calling the pier a wharf! 🤦🏻♀️
Because a wharf is a type of pier.
@ If you believe that you’re just as dumb as that newscaster.
Is this the place they show in all American movies?
You know, i bet they have multiple weather cams that watch the peir. You couldn't get the footage from those?
Having large heavy cranes on the wharf really helps too. (sarc)
The title says "before andxafter", not "during."
Left over swell from the Eddie?
A pier goes out into the water.
A wharf runs along the shoreline.
I sat and watched waves rip the peer apart in Avila Beach in 1982
Was this where The Lost Boys was filmed back in '87?
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!!
Exactly. This is a wharf.
Look at a satellite picture of it.
Awareness buys time, time buys options - until it doesn't. Gain some awareness - the wharf isn't the only aspect of collapse in our society.
