Torrey Pines landslide, ends with a boom

Thanks for watching. I was there 5 minutes before it started. Came across a couple of people looking like bird watchers. I wasn't sure if it was just a trickle or would stop. And, If you thought I was stupid for standing in front of it.... One of the most fascinating things was this guy sitting on the rocks about 75 yrs south (to the right). While the cliff was not falling over there, everyone was yelling at him to get away from the cliff. When i started filming he was still there, I kept panning to the right to see if he had moved. Fortunately he did, and a couple minutes later where he stood was 6 feed covered in rocks. I saw him on the way out, told him what i saw, and said he was the luckyest man on the beach. :-) There's just a little more video, but nothing as exciting, it almost stopped when i turned off this clip.

If only there were some sort of technology by which this could be recorded in a widescreen format or horizontal orientation to capture the true beauty of this experience.

Good catch, BUT, there's a reason that tv/movies are LANDSCAPE and not portrait. Why do cell phone camera users not understand that? Turn them horizontal folks!

Good to see Bill and Ted are still having excellent adventures 🤣😂🎸🎸🎸

Good cliffhanger stopping the video when the entire cliff starts to fall down.

Initially I thought this video was going to be too long and I wouldn't have the patience to watch it all. But then slowly it got really fascinating and I didn't want it to end!!!

The portrait of that landscape was brilliantly filmed.

The person recording this is definitely from San Diego

Can you imagine having the unique opportunity to witness and record such an incident and then you so thoroughly beef it by filming it in portrait mode while swinging the camera side to side instead of in landscape widescreen mode…

Jeff Spicolli narrates a rock slide. Radical Mr. Hand…radical.

I’m not here to complain HOW it was filmed. I just came to say I’m SO GLAD IT WAS FILMED!!! Absolutely AMAZING!! Loved it! WOW! Just WOW!!!

I’ve been telling this to my friends for years. Californias coast has always been this way it’s natural and it’s how it’s supposed to work. The problem is they built a bunch of houses and businesses right by these cliffs and they’re shocked that it’s eroding. Like it hasn’t been doing that for the thousands of years.

The funniest part is I’m not even from San Diego. I’m from Chicago and I’ve just lived out there for 10 years and actually put in some effort to learn about where I moved to. But people who’ve lived there for their entire life don’t understand this.

The Paraglider at 2:49 wasn’t expected. Cool 😎

that was more entertaining than anything i've seen from hollywood lately, thanks for posting this. pretty amazing, glad no one was hurt.

The laughter and awe toward the end is priceless. Humans are tiny ❤.

Incredible how he was able to capture a million year time lapse of the earth's erosion and the cave man running for his life is amazing!!

At 9:54 you can see the sand at the ground/beach level being moved too! 😮 this is an awesome event to witness. I lived at the Oregon coast for nearly 20 years and always wondered how unstable the sandstone is. Well, it’s not!

Thank you for the very slow panning! What a thing to observe, !

[Ryanstuff]

The sound of the rocks tumbling is very soothing.

I could honestly watch videos like this for hours. Many of us don't get to experience stuff like this first hand. It's incredible. Great video.

[NorThenX]

It did infact, end, with him saying boom. Truly incredible
