I often remind people sitting on or standing on a cliff edge that the edge wasn't always where it is right now. Most of them look at me like I'm speaking Martian. Ok, have it your way.
Those are sedimentary rock cliffs. Sediments don't form cliffs, which means that this has been happening for millennia. What's rare is getting it on video.
Dang, when I went kayaking to the caves a few years ago I was thinking this very thing.....”what if that cliff/wall broke off” We went in a crevasse that had a Boulder hanging in it above us, it was so narrow you didn’t use your paddle, you pushed with your hands on the walls beside you......what was I thinking ??🙄 Beautiful but could be deadly 😗
Well, a few months after this incident a cliff the same size collapsed in Brazil landing directly on 2 boats smashing them to pieces and the cliff exploded into 10lb-100lb rocks flying in every direction as well as the exploded boat degree which was flying so fast it destroyes 2 boats nearby. *10 people died and 30 people were heavily injured.* Kinda makes me sad that people are making fun of the guy for yelling to drive away, because it was the right thing to do, obviously they were safe enough distance away but whatever happened to ol' saying : *BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY*
I kayaked that stretch of the shoreline a few years back. It was beautiful. Had an amazing time. So glad the cliff face held together cause in some cases we got pretty close.
I think he's screaming "back up" because of the waves coming from the fall. Depending on what watercraft they're on, they could have been afraid of capsizing or someone falling over
That entire cliff is made of very week sandy conglomerate. It is glacial debris that wasn't compacted into actual stone. We have similar geology here in Washington state where deadly landslides are the result of the erosion induced fracturing.
@@DrPepperZZZ That's the nature of a glacial moraine. Ground up rock and earth is ground up, mixed and pushed by glacial action into huge formations like that. Those were the mile thick glaciers of the ice age, not the tiny remnants we have today.
In the past, every time I read about another fossil find (like Burgess Shale) being explained as "the animals were buried all at once by a cliff collapse", I used to think, "that's a lot of cliff collapses". Now, thanks to the internet, I see how common they really are.
There entire planet is CONSTANTLY being reshaped by various forms of erosion through earthquakes, volcanos, tornados, hurricanes, etc. It's been happening since the moment Adam turned the planet and all spiritual authority OVER TO satan AKA the ETERNAL LOSER.( who was stupid enough to think he could take over & become God 🙄) Ever since then creation has been in turmoil & will continue to be in tremendous turmoil until the end of this age - when The Lord Jesus Christ will redo it all to it's original state of perfection. John 3:1-21 John 10;10 John 14:6 Romans 10:8-10 God LOVES YOU, HE SENT JESUS TO RESCUE ANYBODY WHO WILL CHOOSE & CONFESS HIM AS LORD - SO THAT - YOU CAN ENTER HIS FAMILY & SPEND ETERNITY SAFE & SOUND IN HIS KINGDOM OR ALTERNATIVELY STAY UNDER satan's manipulation & THEN spend eternity locked up in hell with him along with everybody else who REJECTED God. Hell is THE place where God has WITHDRAWN His PRESENCE from those who chose to exist WITHOUT HIM SO NO LOVE, no peace, no joy, no fellowship, no family, no calm, no rest, ABSOLUTE HOPELESSNESS, TOTAL FEAR, AGONY, DESPAIR, REGRET, NOTHING BUT UNENDING TORMENT - KNOWING IT'S ALL BECAUSE - GOD'S BLOOD BOUGHT RANSOME THAT WAS PAID FOR ALL MANKIND WAS REJECTED WHILE YOU STILL HAD BREATH TO CHOOSE DURING THIS LIFE ON EARTH. ❤️❤️🖖🖖🖖
It’s called sedimentary rock maybe instead of keeping people ignorant teach people of the areas and how different soils will react over time with surroundings
Lake Superior is one of the most awesome places on the planet and one of the most powerful you can't underestimate or predict what's going to happen with that make it never gives up its dead
@@OneBlueFroggy when I looked up it was pitch Black. The cliff fell off in slow motion & once I was completely under, I heard Ka-ThumpSwishhhhhh as I swam out from under & my ear I saw the sun again & swam all the way to the boat, about 75 feet, & as my ears broke the surface all the boy scouts were screaming, I was yelling & they couldn't see my from the dust. Once scout finally yelled & pointed from the boat, he's right here! Wow. I wondered why the sun went black.i thought a big rock fell in behind me. Nope it was the whole cliff.
Walked across the top a couple times. Nice view of Lake Superior and a park ranger pointed out a bald eagle nest high in a tree next to the cliffs. Good trip a few years before the Covid pandemic.
Before or after the collapse cause I see a face of what looks to be a native American to the right of what looks to be a trunk of an elephant if its before the collapse. But that's just what I can see and might be what some call paradolia
The reason its falling apart is because that whole land is a mud fossil! Genesis chapter 1 tells you there were creatures in the beginning before Adam was created!
I love on the northern top of lake superior( thunder bay, ontario) we have miles and miles of beautiful trails, cliffs, beaches, rivers and waterfalls....I've put on hundreds of miles on my feet hiking the sleeping giant and many parks along the North shores. So much to see
Nature owns us, not the other way around, despite how inflated our egos are as humans. Regardless of rock type, think to yourself, how did this rock get its look in the first place? That should tell you how far to stay from edges of rock, cliffs, and other loose sediment.
Just think about all those people who stand on rock outcroppings at the grand canyon looking down a mile into the abyss thinking their ground is secure. Oops, not.
Just to think that I was scuba diving in that same spot some years ago. There was no collapse at that time, but there were people on top of that cliff rolling boulders and stones and letting them drop down into the Lake . ---------- not the smartest thing to do .
Check out Sam Lam's comment. "..erosion..". Yep, no big deal. Now do you understand what is meant by fake news? They dramatize EVERYTHING and if that's not enough they make stuff up.
The ground under the rock's surface is shifting causing the collapse of the wall cliff. During periods of extreme drought the surface of land is unstable both in water as well as on the ground.
Everyone talking about the screaming guy in a negative light. I however, am glad he was there. He added excitement to the whole thing.
Excitement? Listening to someone screaming like a frightened fool is not enjoyable. He needed a Bugs Bunny / 3 Stooges style slap in the face.
That cliff face wouldn't have fallen had he not been there to see it...

Yep. Could be deadly.
The beat adventures always have a little chance of death. Beside had it happened it wouldn't be you problem for very long.
Yep, been there, done that. Thought about it later. Wonder if the locals keep track of caves and overhangs that have collapsed?
I wonder if screaming back up repeatedly helped the situation, I think so.
It certainly made it more exciting! 🤣🤣
😂🤣😂👍👍
They weren't that close, no need for yelling or panic or hysteria, a simple "we better back up the boat" would do...panic is never helpful... 👍
I applaud them since I did not hear a “Back the EFF up” retort.🙅🏼♂️ All things considered, a “backup Bro, back up backup” was relatively calm.😂

Water always wins.
Michigan has its own natural way of repelling fudgies. :)

That was great to watch, thank you...I love the great lakes and that water at the beach was so clear, would love to take a swim.
Great water, a little on the cool side when it is free of ice
It's quite chilly
WAY more than a bit chilly… killing cold

There are great charter tours on the lake to view the rocks. A very amazing and beautiful area to visit; been there many times.

This is why you don’t go to the edge for selfies.
What is the cliff made of, how was it formed? A bit of geology would be nice.

Who the hell places land near water?
Other than that, was it a relaxing boat ride?
lol!
Ice is melting so fast...
Idk why they’re laughing but that’s absolutely crazy because I’ve seen people kayak right down there where it was eroding!
