@@patrickspendrin3107 idk about that. If cliffs eroded like this every few weeks there wouldn’t be cliffs or a river it would all be washed out then the path of the water would be constantly changing direction as erosion occurred.

@@joshridgell4312 Well, the problem is that it is not completely obvious what kind of rock this is. Chalk cliffs (think of Dover) e.g. totally look like rock, but do erode very soon. Additionally, ice-driven erosion is a thing in some parts of the world and happens each and every winter/spring several times. Sandstone erosion can be quite fast too (few decades of years) and will result in heavy boulders falling.
Cliff couldn't take it anymore. Lost his job, Wife is leaving him for a glacier, lost visitation rights with the kids, wife suing for more child support. He finally just fell apart and went to pieces. We will remember Cliff with fondness and think about him in better days when he provided support for those with outlook and vision.

The video was lagging right after the first little dirt release... but I was already saying, " Go! - Go-go-go-go!" River volume goes up and suddenly you're in a flood. I hope you were both okay!
This happened once to a cliff where I live. There were four children sitting at a picnic table next to the river below. It was a warm and dry evening. Suddenly, chunks came away and despite the childrens immediate reaction, they were caught. The fatal part of the slip was the air shockwave created. Only one survived.

Yes, because I probably would have been chatting the whole time about it.😩 I have noticed that with some videos I recorded and am wondering why I didn't just shut up and not had the commentary. This was a nice video for sure!❤❤❤
Just to clear things up though, the question would be, run where exactly? The thing about hearing danger and just running means you could accidentally run into a much more dangerous area. Because if you can't see the river, do you run forward, backwards, or simply just in the opposite direction of where you think the noise is coming from? For anyone that may read this, yes, run like fuck. But. Before your run, take a moment to listen to exactly where said noise is coming from and run in the safest direction. So make sure you have a good understanding of the area and don't just go in a direction without any thought. The last thing someone would want to do would be just run, thinking they're going away from the danger, only to realise they ran closer too it. Might be farfetched with what I'm saying, but sound travels and bounces off of surfaces, so it may seem like a sound of falling rocks or whatever is coming from you in front to your left, when maybe it's coming from behind. Which is why it's crucial to understand exactly where you are and what's around you. Same goes for a dry riverbed. Hear a loud noise. Don't just run. Pay attention to where you're walking and run toward the and up the banks. There's be nothing worse than hearing a flash flood and ignoring it because it's hot and sunny, or has been hot and sunny for several days, only to realise how fucked you are when you're in a dry river bed that's 30 or 40 feet wide with only 20 or 30 seconds to get out. Pretty sure that's happened to people before.
@@jonnywilson9117I was thinking the same thing. Running is pointless if you can't locate where the area of danger is. If it's possible to orient yourself you'll have better chances of escaping unscathed
I've heard a lot of people have died at the Grand Canyon for just that reason. The rock there is sandstone of varying degrees of strength. Some of it is just a step up from a dried out dirt clod. And even the stronger sandstone can develop cracks.
Notice the heavy rainfall. The ground is saturated with water, making it heavier and more liquid. We're going to see more of this as our climate is getting (in some places) weather. BTW: Props to the cameraman!
It's extreme rural mountainous Humboldt County. Not exactly too many roads. Better have a capable 4x4 and know how to deal with the pot growers if you want to cruise around the Van Duzen.
The Eastbound 8 Fwy from San Diego , Ca had a few bus sized boulders hit the freeway from the canyon walls 2 weeks ago. The section was as you drop down to Ocotillo Wells desert. Pretty impressive, really.
I dont blame you. I had a trail alongside a 12 ft embankment give out on me a few years ago. I was lucky to be able to walk out of there with only a compound ankle sprain
People fall from collapsing cliff edges all the time. I have personally arrived at hiking, nature sites 3 times either just before or after someone fell and died: Fort Funston SF, Julia Pfifer waterfall trail in Big Sur and angles landing hike in Zion. Be careful and remember it can and does happen so exercise good judgment.
What everyone is forgetting is the laws of physics of “for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction“ and nature’s unpredictable consequences, like what just happened. My dad worked in the mines and he had to be very vigilant about his surroundings, if there was a creaking noise or a sudden movement unseen, he knew it was time to go and get out. He saved many lives because of his vigilance and sense of danger that goes along with mining work. 👍❤️🙏🏼
I wish that they had filmed the Lituya Bay Tsunami of 1958. It was over 1700 feet high, caused by an earthquake dumping 8 million truck loads of material into the bay all at once. It's unbelievable that anyone could have survived such a thing, but they did! 😊
One time I was on my mountain bike just cruising along. I could hear the river really loudly, but I couldn't see in. I hit a rock and went down under a tree. The soil under me sank, and I fell through. I managed to grab onto the tree roots. The river was under me; churning, scary, brown water full of logs, rocks, and death. That section of the trail had fallen, but was suspended on rocks. I climbed up the tree roots, got my bike back to the paved trails. Not that last time a tree saved my life.
Sinkhole in Sedona. One spot of cliff I refused to stand on-wasn’t that deep but you wouldn’t survive falling unless landed in the tree branches. Exactly 6 mos after I took friends to hike the whole cliff side I refused to stand on GONE and even way farther back where people would stand. My friend lived about a block away and got woken up by an, and I quote’ ungodly sound’ as it collapsed! We went about week later and errbody looked at ME lol coz I had warned everyone don’t stand over there! The power is immense!🤔🤣
There's PLENTY of stuff to be concerned about in other states . . . Been here 4 decades and lived through 10 seconds of 1989 earthquake . . . That's it . . . Plenty of sunshine, beaches, and so much BEAUTY!
That's both beautiful and so scary. This was not without warning, when there's a sedimentary cliff of mostly sand and brittle slate, a concave cliff face is an indication that the lip of the cliff will fall. We get warnings all the time about people not camping right on the river bank or on the cliffs above the river for this exact reason.

This is one of the least intrusive captions I've seen in a RUclips short. I'm sure if you go find the original source you'll find the "text box" free version you're looking for.
Only an asshole would criticize the person who made this video. What more do you want? It was perfect! At the very end there was a “text box” over the action area when it was over. You and the 80 other douche bags who may have agreed with you should get a life. Just sayin’
Moving water is single-handedly probably the one of the most dangerous things that we as human beings can experience. It is so incredibly powerful I mean, even only a couple inches can and someone’s life is that dangerous
Of all the elements water is the most powerful, yet the most flexible. Also the most healing Our bodies are made of over 80% distilled water & organic minerals from the earth Until recently all major hospitals had a hydrotherapy department
@@andrewsmith1093 The phrase "once in a lifetime" doesn't mean "once in a universe", lmao. Being born is once in a lifetime, does that mean we're saying that other births don't occur out there? Not at all
Warning at the start of the video, warning at the middle and at the end as well. Warning continues after the video has been turned off. You are now adequately warned.
i mean cliffs aren't known for being the most prolific social media posters but it could look into hiring a social media PR person to tweet out status on its behalf.
I’ve always had a severe fear of standing on the edge of cliffs. I felt my fear of falling off was irrational especially since there have been times when I’ve stood back as others stood on the edge. This video made me realize my fear might not be as irrational as I thought.
Yes, there was a warning. When the smaller pieces began to crumble and fall. I'd say that was a pretty good warning that larger pieces were about to fall.
And people this is why you don’t build your house near Cliff’s. Also, for future homebuilders, try your hardest not to build your house anywhere near large trees that have deep fruits or heavy limbs.
It's not a mini tsunami, it's just a regular tsunami. There's no size requirement for one, all it requires is waves in water caused by a displacement of said water from earthquake, landslide etc. Aka this was literally by definition a tsunami
@@E.C.Animation that's incorrect, try searching for that definition again. "a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are in turn generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water from a large event. "
Without warning? The first rocks ARE the warning. Never assume it is done. Usually just getting started.
My thought exactly. The first rocks were the warning and you knew more was coming because there was less support for the rest.
Thats what i thought 😂 The Warning is its a F'ing Cliff.

Incredible footage this is A FANTASTIC capture of nature in fine form! ❤❤❤
I wish that they had filmed the Lituya Bay Tsunami of 1958. It was over 1700 feet high, caused by an earthquake dumping 8 million truck loads of material into the bay all at once. It's unbelievable that anyone could have survived such a thing, but they did! 😊
How inconsiderate of the mountain to not warn the river. It's appalling!
It was the river that caused the collapse.
The cliff must of identified as A glacier...
Global warming
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahha yeah right...
This is also why you NEVER camp along a riverbank.
Or build in a flood zone
Or yodel in the nude to the Kickapoo river god.
@@yermanoffthetelly I won't ask you how you know 😂
@@yermanoffthetellyA long a*s f**king time ago, in a town called Kickapoo
That's not a thing. people camp near rivers all the time.
Nice catch! That's why I never feel comfortable standing on ledges like that 😊
Cool .. unfolding in front of your eyes .. nature is so beautiful and amazing
*New fear unlocked* - Don't ever stand on the edge of any cliff for the view. 😂
Exactly
Exactly

One time I was on my mountain bike just cruising along. I could hear the river really loudly, but I couldn't see in. I hit a rock and went down under a tree. The soil under me sank, and I fell through. I managed to grab onto the tree roots. The river was under me; churning, scary, brown water full of logs, rocks, and death. That section of the trail had fallen, but was suspended on rocks. I climbed up the tree roots, got my bike back to the paved trails. Not that last time a tree saved my life.
I HOPE NOBODY was hurt during that act of GOD ❤❤❤. Loved watching it, THANK YOU for sharing that video.!!!
Cameraman never dies lol
This is precisely why I don't stand on cliff ledges, no matter how thick or sturdy they look
No kidding. Nature & it's elements are full of surprises!!!
Sinkhole in Sedona. One spot of cliff I refused to stand on-wasn’t that deep but you wouldn’t survive falling unless landed in the tree branches. Exactly 6 mos after I took friends to hike the whole cliff side I refused to stand on GONE and even way farther back where people would stand. My friend lived about a block away and got woken up by an, and I quote’ ungodly sound’ as it collapsed! We went about week later and errbody looked at ME lol coz I had warned everyone don’t stand over there! The power is immense!🤔🤣
Great habit to not have !!
California is such a beautiful state. Earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, floods, mud and rock slides. Never a dull moment.
Newsome, Maxknee waters, peelosi, harris
Streets overflowing with homeless, illegal migrants & people blaming all of thier problems on climate change, fossil fuels & Trump.
There's PLENTY of stuff to be concerned about in other states . . . Been here 4 decades and lived through 10 seconds of 1989 earthquake . . . That's it . . . Plenty of sunshine, beaches, and so much BEAUTY!
@@SandraAnnEvans Don't forget the homeless people. They're precious.
@@SandraAnnEvansdon't forget the drugged out zombies on skid row and the mass Exodus of a once thriving San Francisco, beautiful!
Cliffs always collapse, to whom they have to send warning notes?!
That's both beautiful and so scary. This was not without warning, when there's a sedimentary cliff of mostly sand and brittle slate, a concave cliff face is an indication that the lip of the cliff will fall. We get warnings all the time about people not camping right on the river bank or on the cliffs above the river for this exact reason.
What is " beautiful" about it?
@@janiceal-najjar5093 because it's nature, it's really cool. Just don't be stupid and get killed cuz you thought stabding under a bit of overhanging cliff was a smart idea
California is very new, geologically. It is constantly changing and much of it is very unstable.
And this is why you should always be cautious approaching a cliff edge. Both on top and bottom.
It's called erosion....
You'd probably have stood there too close too...
Cliff: hey bro I’m about to fall just to let you know
Fish: thanks for the heads up
My geologist friends are gonna love this
This is the best reason to never stand on the edge of a cliff.
Thanks for putting the text box over the action. That textbox is what we came to see. I hope I get a textbox for Christmas.
exactly, I was thinking the same thing, and how stupid of them to do that
I know! That was so irrtating!
Thank you. Someone finally had to say it. Peeves when we trying to watch these movies! I got the person in the back smacking their popcorn like a cow….they’re next! 🙄
This is one of the least intrusive captions I've seen in a RUclips short. I'm sure if you go find the original source you'll find the "text box" free version you're looking for.
Only an asshole would criticize the person who made this video. What more do you want? It was perfect! At the very end there was a “text box” over the action area when it was over. You and the 80 other douche bags who may have agreed with you should get a life. Just sayin’
The trees growing right by the edge are possibly causing it their roots invade and split the rock
Without warning? What do you want? A letter in the mail?
Remember, whenever in danger just pop your camera on & you'll be save. Camera wo/man never dies.
Puff and smoke run earth quake warning..overdue big one .
Unless you're in The Backrooms.
THen it's required. BTW, never carry a camera and you'll never end up there.
Moving water is single-handedly probably the one of the most dangerous things that we as human beings can experience. It is so incredibly powerful I mean, even only a couple inches can and someone’s life is that dangerous
Single handley probably one of the most. The word youre looking for is "exceedingly"
Id rather die drowning than die from acute radiation sickness tbh lol
Of all the elements water is the most powerful, yet the most flexible. Also the most healing
Our bodies are made of over 80% distilled water & organic minerals from the earth
Until recently all major hospitals had a hydrotherapy department
I dunno, nuclear bombs are pretty scary
Other Human Beings are single-handedly probably the one of the most dangerous things that we as human beings can experience.
Nature always gives a warning. Humans are just too distracted to notice.
“Without warning?”
Were we expecting the bluff to shout “hey, if there’s anybody in the river WATCH OUT!!!”
Once in a lifetime scene!
You witnessed, Filmed it in awe struck SILENCE & Shared it. Mother Nature. Thanks a million guys
Phenomenal talent!
Not once in a lifetime it happens pretty regularly in nature maybe not to that exact scale but similar
@@andrewsmith1093 The phrase "once in a lifetime" doesn't mean "once in a universe", lmao. Being born is once in a lifetime, does that mean we're saying that other births don't occur out there? Not at all
@@andrewsmith1093 It means you are talking about A life 😂
@@pro-socialsociopath769how is being born once in a lifetime when we have over 8 billion people on this god forsaken rock.
The cameraman always survives.. and the cameraman is always positioned without warning
“Rock climbing is totally safe dude!”
They were startled by the literal warning sign but stopped to record. Humans are curious creatures.
And what gets us into unwanted situations.
But unlike cats, lack the coveted 9 lives….. 😂
They voted for Joey and they're startled by him everyday but yet will do it again. So I'm not surprised they're startled by nature.
Natural selection 🥂

See, even the ground doesn't want to be a part of California anymore!!!
Warning at the start of the video, warning at the middle and at the end as well. Warning continues after the video has been turned off. You are now adequately warned.
... but I wasn't warned BEFORE the video started...
Thanks for the pedantics. You know what they meant.
The cliff really should have sent a tweet and posted on Instagram before just falling off like that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 highly underrated comment.
i mean cliffs aren't known for being the most prolific social media posters but it could look into hiring a social media PR person to tweet out status on its behalf.
The Rocks: 'Oh, you still there?' 😅
California is currently trying to figure out how to blame Trump for this…
Thank you for not screaming like a banshie, or saying I got that on video.
banshee...
There were no insane women around
@@franceswalker2627 👍🏽
do you mean thank you for not doing what someone without warning or prior knowledge would have done?
@@jimmyhughes5392 🤔 not sure I understand
I’ve always had a severe fear of standing on the edge of cliffs. I felt my fear of falling off was irrational especially since there have been times when I’ve stood back as others stood on the edge. This video made me realize my fear might not be as irrational as I thought.
You have the Right Mindset! It is Foolish to stand near a Cliff or Look over.👍
Mother nature ain't something to play with
Your fear is legit.... especially during the rainy seasons...

“Without warning”
*_debris falling for an absolute age and a half before any collapse_*
It's amazing how something can be potentially so deadly but can be so beautiful.
Without warning… Except for the warning of falling rocks for about five or 10 seconds prior…
Situational awareness is a thing, people.
This is why you never stand on the edge of a cliff.
Yes, there was a warning. When the smaller pieces began to crumble and fall. I'd say that was a pretty good warning that larger pieces were about to fall.
That shot was incredibly steady. Remarkable.
iPhone is amazing. 🤩
And they didn't say a word! I find that fascinating
it was "rock steady" unlike the cliff above.
the camera/phone most likely has a video stabilization feature
Real heros
As soon as the first bit dropped into the river, I'd be running as fast as my Forrest Gump's could take me.

What’d you want it to do? Play a siren?? 😂
One of many reasons you don’t go hiking with headsets/ear buds on. You need to always be aware of your surroundings. Nature is unpredictable.
And people this is why you don’t build your house near Cliff’s. Also, for future homebuilders, try your hardest not to build your house anywhere near large trees that have deep fruits or heavy limbs.
love me some deep fruit
@@NorThenX047😂😂😂😂😂🍑
Do you still have to pay property taxes on a part of your lot that is gone?
Deep fruits? 😂 Do you mean deep roots or big fruits? Or did you really mean to say that, and if so, what's a "deep fruit?"
@@nicoleowens2318A ‘deep fruit’ is a homosexual that enjoys scuba diving.
A ‘mini tsunami’???
I think most people would call that a large ripple 😂
This baloney hype is the reason we need to see the DOWN VOTES COUNTER.
Exaggeration online should be a fine.
At least they’ve now changed the title.
It's not a mini tsunami, it's just a regular tsunami. There's no size requirement for one, all it requires is waves in water caused by a displacement of said water from earthquake, landslide etc. Aka this was literally by definition a tsunami
@@DarkAttack14 no, a tsunami is not displaced water like this. It is by definition a wave caused by underwater earthquakes or a volcanic eruption.
@@E.C.Animation that's incorrect, try searching for that definition again. "a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations, landslides, glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances) above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. Unlike normal ocean waves, which are generated by wind, or tides, which are in turn generated by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water from a large event. "
Thank God no one was on top when it started to go.
