- An unstable #dorset cliff collapsed on camera, launching 400-tonnes of rockfall cascading into the English Channel.
The #collapse at West Bay, on the Jurassic Coast, on Friday, has led the local council to close the South West Coast Path, warning rockfalls "can happen suddenly and without warning".
This marks the fourth rockfall on this stretch of beach since November last year.

Who would have thought rock falls could happen at anytime without warning well I never
the telegraph corrected this as a typo it was 40 tonnes
Obviously T-Rex emerging from its slumber after 50 million years.
GORGO!
(Resists urge to differentiate between Jurassic and Cretaceous...) 😆
@@AlexHallatt pedant.
@@AlexHallatt haha
Nope. Godzilla.
Fossil hunters paradise 😊
what I was thinking, exposes a new areas of fossils.
And then crushed by the next collapse.
Well everything else is collapsing in Brittan
Coastlines have been collapsing in Britain since before the homo sapien species evolved.
The entire English Channel is an example of it.
Obviously, the education system collapsed first
That does not negate the fact that brittania is collapsing
The education system by the looks of it, it's *Britain not Brittan .
So long as the Palmers Brewery is safe, I’m happy
Look for fossils!
Or become one 😂
I already am one😅
basically all mud and rock, saturated by the weather and the sea. Natural erosion. Needs checking the Fred flintstones etc...
It's 90%+ sandstone. Thin layer of turf on top.
@@skepticalbadger I used to live in a Sandstone area, its also susceptible to spalling. Similar effect.
The cliff reminds me of the cliff from the British TV series "Broadchurch".
Looked it up...yup this is where they filmed Broadchurch
They filmed the whole series in Dorset.
FFS the same thing happened in January; February; May; 8th August; November; December 2023 and January & 31st March 2024! I stayed in West Bay last August from 9th-11th and was warned by the hotel owner that a rock fall had happened the day beforehand! There was a light cordon around the area, but still people walked over cliff tops, on the beach along that area when the tides were out and bathed in the sea next to the fallen rocks! I couldn't believe that the area had not been blocked from public use! Seems same thing happened this year and STILL open to the public!🤦♀️
Dorset is on the English Channel, not the ocean.
They've been talking about the coastal erosion on the entire Southern Coast of England for half a century. I did a whole GCSE paper on it when I was 16 LMAO we even went down to Weymouth to do a whole study for my Geography coursework
Also I forgot to mention the small nuance that the amoc is absolutely collapsing and has been doing so for 90 years. this also means that UK and other areas are going to get COLD by up to 8-10c and all of the nightmare heat we would have been facing is going to get stuck down at the equator which will become uninhabitable.
In Uk it is going to get warmer and warmer very quickly, then all of a sudden, a cold shock that will last 2000 years while the AMOC reboots. THAT is the ONLY second chance nature is ever going to give the northern regions to adapt or die.
@@gigabane7357 Interesting!!! What about the magnetic pole shift??? Any influence?
love to know who weighed it ? 400 tons old Mother Nature is pretty precise when she does rockfalls . And which ocean would that be ? as far as I am aware the Dorset coast is still in the English Channel ?
The English channel, as we call it, is part of the ocean.
@@nexpro6985😂😂
@@nexpro6985 no its the English Channel , by your reasoning the North Sea is also part of the Atlantic Ocean
Since all oceans are connected, there's really only one, apart from more or less arbitrary distinctions by nitpickers.
@@patdoyle2003 how can anything be "more or less arbitrary " ? places are defined by name by those very nitpickers to help other nitpickers find their way around
clearly 330 tonnes not 400.
Looks more like 365 tons
327 1/2
394 tons, we're Telegraph readers not some Johnny foreigners.
Closer to 321 tones go
Obviously 324 ton
Far more rain now with more storms thus quicker erosion.
A moment for the people who weighed the rocks that fell.
There are a few others that look ready to fall as well.
The cliffs of INSANITY!!!
West Bay is nice
This is the reason I’d never stand near the edge of a cliff to take pictures. I also wouldn’t build a home on a bluff or hill near the sea. Inevitably there WILL be erosion. It’s only a matter of time, tide and storms as to how long it takes before your house falls to the beach and is claimed by the sea. I bet there were some interesting fossils and ancient artifacts in those layers of rock! I hope someone has looked through it thoroughly!
I have actually walked up that hill with my young son, who had a shoulder carry from me. A few years back now when I was young and fit lol.
West Bay cliffs - always were a worry
I would say swimming in the sea near the shore would be more hazardous these days.
Since when was the English Channel an ‘ocean’?
It is part of the ocean. Parts of the world's single ocean have names.
@@nexpro6985yes, obviously, but we have never ever called that part of the sea the 'ocean'.
@@nexpro6985 REALLY? I had not Idea that the seas are connected. #FACE_PALM
The English Channel is indeed part of the Atlantic Ocean
@@AGWUK All the worlds oceans are joined but the English channel is NOT part of the Atlantic. Just like the Pacific it not part of the Atlantic. Go learn some geography.
But it all looks so stable and well supported!
Weather erosion is creating that hazard forever.
Good footage
No way, no how I would want to be under any cliff anywhere. It is just too dangerous.
Bro, there is large titan hiding on cliff
Is this at Seatown? Near Golden Cap?
West Bay
Even the coastline of Tory Britain is crumbling.
A sign for the picture of the world ...
Had many happy holidays in West Bay.
Looks like there's a face in the thumbnail picture.
Local knowledge, keep away from the cliffs especially after a lot of rainfall.
West bay
Dam i was going to pitch a tent right there 😂😂
I bet the rockhounding was incredible!
Cliffs are notiriously unstable and dangerous.
Fossils exposed ?
that's jura sick
Cool!👍
BREXIT ?
Very spiritual. Signs of a kingdom tumbling
Looks like it’s been collapsing since the beginning of time
The Rock Hunters are going to have Fun
That is not a cliff. That is clay, mud and loam - the star dust.
So, I guess "stay away" means, "have fun collecting souvenirs."
The face in the dust as the rocks are falling.
The case of natural phenomenon: Pareidolia!
Its Sir Mechagodzilla! RULE BRITANIA
"The world is changing."
That won't stop the boats.
The Ocean will fill up and overflow remember the story of the thirsty crow
I have a photo of me and my daughter standing right under that
Why is the camera work so professional, as if they expected the cliff to fall? Seems odd....
Probably just flying a drone around at the right time, the erosion is completely natural.
@@iZombits they artificially zoomed in (cropped) on whatever footage they had so that explains the weirdly professional aesthetic
Oh lord, a conspiracy theorist....
Paleontologists: New real estate has opened up boys!
Looks like the location where Broadchurch was filmed
It was filmed there.

Perfect metaphor for the country as a whole.😅
Dude, invest in a mic cover!
Looks like Bridport
This ain't even 40tonnes!
Rolling Stones
And the ocean will claim that.
was that 400 tonnes?
exactly.
I wonder if I stood underneath all those rocks and it came down on me will it kill me
It's a possibility.
@@meghanhobhead5149 good I might try it
@@meghanhobhead5149 I might try it one day
What goes up, must come down
That's A #Earth Quack
Oh Yes As #Above So #Below
Fossils galore
The face in the thumbnail
Yeah, I saw! Pareidolia mess up your brain sometimes naturally!
That wasn’t 400 tons
Imagine someone is climbing to relax near the collapsing area
From the Daily Torygraph.
Looks like a giant was in there. Watch again
Not sure if it’s the cameras frame rate or what but it looks like bad cgi
Yes the former english empire are crumbling down
Didn't an idiot family camp there in stormy conditions a few years ago.
Ocean..? Please!!!!
😂😂😅...love the dramatic words, " rock falls into the ocean!!""........yes, it's a rockfall, but it's landing on the seashore!!....😅.... don't these newspapers exaggerate everything!!!!😅
Obviously, then, it was the beach sand making the big splash at the end .......
Dino-might?
Okay, Jay Jay 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Plesiosaurs yearning for the sea.
Enlarge the screen and so obviously cgi. Nicely done though.
I thought that, looks like they’ve used a scene from Broadchurch 😂
Erosion is a conspiracy now?
Gotcha....
It is called enhanced weathering fellows. It is expected. well, by some minds. most of the planet is not autistic and not obsessed and so are actually clueless as to how imminent food shocks and total biosphere collapse is.
Meanwhile in the US, let's build mansions on the edge of the cliff!
Looks fake coz no one is turning around on the beach to look!
Oeh somebody order a new beach hehehehe
400 tonnes, can someone tell how.they know that for sure 🤣
Fossils!!!
So thats how Danny Latimer died
Omg
There always be an England? Not to mention imegration!!!😮
Has to be a first t
Might find another dinosaur 🦖.
People fear change.
All normal proses ❤❤❤🪬🪬💎💎👍👍🥃🥃🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🌺
The thumbnail looks like a face.
И что? 😂
Caused a tsunami in Taiwan
Climet change ?
*climate
Yea, also
@@skankhunt420 it is hard to assert it is due to climate change. Only if wind patterns, ocean currents and other climate related conditions are increasing the erosion of this specific cliff. Having said that costal erosion is due to increase with climate change.
@@ottobormann Increased rainfall may play a significant role.
Nah it was Putin.
Nope. Blame it on Covid and Brexit. That's why everything else is collapsing in England apparently!
L.. small
Wasn’t even 5 tons of dirt 😂media 😂
Crumbling under the weight of all those illegal immigrants
