New video shows moments before and after waves take out Santa Cruz Wharf

Vertically video 🥴

A kid needs another dad with a brain.

Resonating ..Waves..

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

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

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

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.

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

Rich people's problems! 🥱

Piers Morgan was not involved.

Gave in to pier pressure

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

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

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

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!!

Wow.

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

Amazing. No one has blamed Trump yet.

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

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.

So where’s the video?

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

"Whapusha!"

Maintain your forests while you’re at it.

Trump's America

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

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

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.

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

Pier

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.

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

Solstice....Winter is here

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.

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.

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

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

Environmental clowns stopped the repairs that needed to be done.

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

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.

Dude’s shirt
IYKYK

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

so you know the "EDDIE Surf invitational" was held on Sunday
