A good example of what journalism has become. When you listen to the report, it seems like people on the beach were surprised by the cliff falling down. Now the truth? I'm French and the reality is that the beach had been closed for days because this was expected. That's why you have people with cameras waiting patiently for the cliff to fall down. From time to time there's a house on top of the cliff falling down with it. (People you see in front of the camera are policemen blocking the area)
Well if it wasn't for that people wouldn't take much interest on the video. The main point was to see nature take it's course. Of course there is yellow journalism that does go over board, but I think this one isn't so bad as others.
Dude, can it even be called journalism? This is just the American media companies getting footage from someone else and then sensationalising the story and leaving out huge parts of the story to make it seem more wild and interesting, they do this all the time in the US. It's the land of the dishonest media basically.
to me it was at Dieppe Normandie 😉 and ilt was expected since months and fall the terminal crash 3 or 4 days before.... Ther is no beach here. Sometimes walkers.
"In broad daylight" *David Attenborough voice* Ah yes, the elusive cliff collapse. Usually they only come out at night but here we find a rare specimen of the "calcareous class" cliffs in full collapse. When getting to the bottom they will rush for the water to unite with their mates in Dover.
Wow! However interesting the rock-fall was, it's totally outclassed by the best set of sarcastic, humorous comments I've ever seen! Well done, everybody!
"Sources near the scene said prior to the event they saw someone put one slice of German chocolate cake on the top of the cliff just before it collapsed."
It's certainly around Etretat or something not far. I lived around when i was kid. All year long it's collapsing ,the waves eat those cliffs since they are here....
They were probably all in France trying to figure out why the cliff collapsed in the daylight instead of when it was dark. I heard they haven't decided so it is still a great mystery.
Estimated. Based on size; the height, width and depth of the displaced material can be measured; and material density based on the type of rock and earth. Its called science and mathematics. You can learn about it too, in a school or from books on geology and math.
Of course it's incorrect, and the few people in the comments getting angry at you and inferring that Americans invented maths or are the best at maths are very conceited. The US ranks poorly in mathematics compared to many European countries and Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore etc. Even other nations like Australia and New Zealand rank ahead of the USA in mathematics. Even the mentioning that it was collapsing in broad daylight was strange. Quantumbits seems like a very triggered and troubled American.
At 0:25 there are emergency personnel. I think either they knew this was coming or maybe even a forced collapse for safety reasons, kind of like a controlled burn to prevent larger forest fires. Hard to know based on a 30 second video though.
They always get involved with the newscasters on UK breakfast news too...and the weather folk...not sure why... just thinking they're bigging up their part
I can't believe I wanted to commit suicide this morning. But here I am now, sitting under the very cliff I nearly threw myself off and now I feel I have so much to live for! ..... I can honestly say I love life. The sea looks so beautiful..... Hello seagull! I love you! ..... hey, what's that cracking noise?
Joel Elliot You are almost correct. I was imagining a humorous but made up scenario and conveying it in the first person for dramatic effect. But I didn't really almost commit suicide and then accidentally and ironically die by being crushed by the cliff I nearly jumped off, otherwise I couldn't have written about it because I would be dead.
Well if you were able to retain what I said while replying you wouldn't be hearing this. I said that everything accept the cliff was from your personal life. so if the cliff was not real than how could you have been crushed by it? or you could have said I was wrong lol snap out of it man ;)
Joel Elliot This is youtube. Hello. I made a humorous comment. It wasn't that funny, I admit. It's a lot less funny now it's been deconstructed. I don't quiet get where you are going with this metaphysical analysis. Sorry :)

Why would they not be surprised even if it was expected? It's not like that shit happens everyday infront of your eyes.

Excuse me. That Cliff falling Down was in France?
cliffs these days falling apart in broad daylight...what's this world coming to...
They usually hide their shame in the dark. Have those cliffs no morals?
The Mafioso MUST be responsible.
I mean back in my day cliffs just held it together like the rest of us
"In broad daylight". Rare ,because cliffs normally collapse at night.
Nah, it's supposed to collapse when no ones looking :P .. owait night time
My first thought too.😂
@@lobatenzin
Yeah and missed you
Mad Benco hahaha
Who says
"luckily nobody was hurt"
the rock that got hurt:
Don't forget the bugs and bacteria living on the cliff.
Don’t forget the dirt
Don’t forget the earth
Not true, elsewhere reported the rock was "hard as rock", so unijured.
why i just imagined the rock
"In broad daylight"
*David Attenborough voice* Ah yes, the elusive cliff collapse. Usually they only come out at night but here we find a rare specimen of the "calcareous class" cliffs in full collapse. When getting to the bottom they will rush for the water to unite with their mates in Dover.
+Amy As opposed to "narrow daylight"? :)
+Carey Cox
You just know that he kicked himself when he blurted that stupid comment out.
"In broad daylight!?!" Works for a cliff and a flasher.
I LOVE your avatar!
+Amy I thought the same thing!
"In broad daylight" lol the AUDACITY!
The GAUL of that cliff! (pun intended)
mike patrick Can you believe the Nervii???
GuitarSlinger2112 LOL Good one!
mike patrick I was inspired! :cheers:
Imagine in broad not just daylight. Much clearer that way
"Who knew, that an entire cliff, was collapsing?"
I think the folks on the beach and the folks with the camera had an inkling old chap.
And it wasnt even an ENTURE cliff, just a part of it LOL
Wow! However interesting the rock-fall was, it's totally outclassed by the best set of sarcastic, humorous comments I've ever seen! Well done, everybody!
It is a known fact that cliffs are vampires and they sleep all day.
"who knew that an entire cliff was collapsing..."
Well, the dude filming it with the camera before it came down obviously had an idea.
RobertDeville he heard the noise
+BeastModeJelly if I heard that noise I'd be like fucking ruuuuuuuuun!
RobertDeville If you read back they were expecting it and the police were holding people back.
Almost like Antarctic ice sheets that cleave off with a conveniently placed video camera always on hand to capture the evils of global warming.
The whole country knew... This was expected, you have people filming & policemen blocking off the area everywhere.... Source: I'm French.
Broad daylight! This cliff had the sheer effrontery to collapse in broad daylight! It could have at least waited until dark don't you think Mr TV man?
ANTON RUDENHAM all Americans can do that. We have years and years of practice and billions of fat asses to guess and get good at.
HAHA I was just about to type this pretty much exact thing. good on ya sir
HAHAHA was thinking the exact same thing
ROFL. Brilliant.
Yeah, Mr "Top of The Show" is not real smart, is he.
"who knew?" I'd assume the people in hard hats and safety vests... they probably knew.
"Who knew, that an entire cliff was collapsing. Broad daylight, which we found peculiar because most known cliffs are nocturnal."
“In broad daylight” Whoever wrote that line should be forced to explain how we’re supposed to get the rock to know the difference.
"no special effects. but it could be!"
the fuck is that supposed to mean?
"Not a special effect...though, it could be." Journalism in a nutshell.
''In broad daylight'' yeah cos those sneeky cliffs usually wait til its dark
that cliff has some balls collapsing like that in broad daylight!
Yes imagine that... In broad daylight! It didn't even have the courtesy to wait for night fall.
trefod Scandal! this must be forbidden by law! Are you join me in a protest march against naked rocks on the beach?
jpsholland I'd rather join in a march against pointless remarks from television hosts, like the dude in the video. ;-)
🇲🇫 "night fall" pun intended?! 🤔
lol, love how he said "...in broad daylight..." like it wasn't supposed to happen until night time :-)
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT LIKE WTF OMG LMAO!!!!!!
"Who knew that an entire cliff was collapsing? Broad daylight." Because we all know cliffs prefer to collapse at night.
Broad daylight! That cliff clearly gives zero f#$ks.
Guy says "broad daylight" like cliffs are only known to fall at night.
"Sources near the scene said prior to the event they saw someone put one slice of German chocolate cake on the top of the cliff just before it collapsed."
Its amazing they caught this in broad daylight because everybody knows most cliffs collapse at night.
30,000 tons? That seems like a low estimate to me.
ikr. that was like a mountain of ROCK
The Serial AGREED !!! Finally some common sense.. :)
Exactly! Looked more like 31-32,000 tons from my perspective.
Andrew Jackson r
Andrew Jackson that a sab
It's certainly around Etretat or something not far.
I lived around when i was kid.
All year long it's collapsing ,the waves eat those cliffs since they are here....
in just 20 million years I'll be living in my beach house.
I'm wondering how the entire cliff collapsed when it was just that little spot along the cliff?
Someday, if I'm lucky. I'll see a cliff "in broad daylight"
*news anchor* “no one was hurt, really impressed”
This would have been an appropriate time for a media outlet to hire a geologist to speak about the cliff collapse.
They were probably all in France trying to figure out why the cliff collapsed in the daylight instead of when it was dark. I heard they haven't decided so it is still a great mystery.
Scrat was trying to hide his acorn.
Thanks for capturing that in widescreen.
"The Entire cliff" it looked to me like there was a lot of cliff still standing after this bit of cliff collapsed.
I love how he says "In broad daylight" like the cliffs should be ashamed of their scandalous behavior.
What the hell?
look for fossils and other neat stuff!!
"happened in broad daylight"
WHY'S HE ACTING LIKE ITS A CRIMINAL?!?! LMFAO
Ikr
I would have witnessed one before but as usual it was dark, lucky whoever filmed this!
"in broad daylight"! yeah, usually cliffs wait and do it at night!
😂
under the cover of darkness...pesky cliffs! !!!
i think it was said tongue in cheek.
even americans have a sense of humor. sometimes.
I know! Those sneaky fuckers! God, I hate em..
This is gonna get recommended in 2021
"In broad daylight"? How dare it come crashing down like that in front of everyone! Jeez, the nerve of these cliff sides sometimes.
Let see some hands, other than me, who thought cliffs only collapsed in total darkness ✋
..and it happened in broad daylight? wowwwwww...now thats some scary shit!!.
A lot of comedians down in the comments circlejerking over "broad daylight"
Who else got this in their recommended 7 years later?
Chuck Norris could have stopped that from falling.
only an american can measure the weight so quickly.....man you Muricans are good
lol, i'm surprised he didn't put a price tag on the damage, they love doing that.
Sakkie Theron who cares Sir
Estimated. Based on size; the height, width and depth of the displaced material can be measured; and material density based on the type of rock and earth. Its called science and mathematics.

You South Africans got your own problems. I work at the blue Ribbon Bakery just down the street.

What an incredible life experience.Thank you for posting the video
"An entire cliff was collapsing. Broad daylight".
.
Yeah, that naughty cliff should have waited for the darkness to set in.....
Why was it a surprise that that cliff collapsed in broad daylight? Do they usually wait till sundown to collapse?
At 0:25 there are emergency personnel. I think either they knew this was coming or maybe even a forced collapse for safety reasons, kind of like a controlled burn to prevent larger forest fires. Hard to know based on a 30 second video though.
I'm sure there's 100 other videos taken at the same time by others that have been posted around by now
the clif just surrendered to the german gravity.
You just have to love all these cameras on the job out there today lol thnx :)
Reporter states "it happened in broad daylight". That's because cliffs commonly fall at night. ;p
Broad daylight? no way dude
The fact that it happened in Broad Daylight........Amazing
wow...Im imagining what kind of mineral mining you could get from that huge chunk after it had fallen...
Kinda wishing the reporter had been there......
+James Carter
Up close for the best camera angle?
+Element of Kindness up close for the best head splatter
"In broad daylight". Wow, whatever next?
Never witnessed Chuck Norris punching a cliff.
I'd immediately rush to the rubble and start digging around for valuable gems
Pretty sure there's more than 30,000 tonnes of rock.
+Chris Eades Your profile pic is great for trolling.
charges against the cliff are pending......
The last piece to fall looks like an obelisk
That cliff was pushed!
Docktor Jim Chuck Norris was training.
Docktor Jim Wait, you are telling me a cliff was pushed off from a cliff?
***** Yes. The cliff was thrown off a cliff.
As a side note, the famous poem "Humpty Dumpty" never once mentions he was an egg.
Did I blow your mind?
Docktor Jim A fat fake-yogi instagramer taking a pic on top caused this.....in broad daylight.
But if you close your eyes...
"Broad daylight" "special effects"
Who hired this guy?
FOX NETWORK
dude looks like a young J-Leno
Imagine if Honnold was on that thing.
We can only hope.
In case anyone was wondering, this guy is real and not a special effect. Though he could be.
He should be fired.
holy shit! the cliff collapsed. and we all thought that could never happen.
Scary
so that's what it looks like when dragon ball characters go through solid rocks :O
Can you believe a cliff would do that in broad daylight?!? Bold of it.
What the fuck is the sportscenter guy doing on here?
They always get involved with the newscasters on UK breakfast news too...and the weather folk...not sure why... just thinking they're bigging up their part
No Instagramers or Tinder-ers were injured while doing shallow yoga poses on top.
Plot Twist: someone was having a Pokémon battle and accidentally used rock smash on the cliff.
Always a GREAT JOB of keeping the camera still......😩
I can't believe I wanted to commit suicide this morning. But here I am now, sitting under the very cliff I nearly threw myself off and now I feel I have so much to live for! ..... I can honestly say I love life. The sea looks so beautiful..... Hello seagull! I love you! ..... hey, what's that cracking noise?
I believe that youve taken your life, and this story and merged them together,
the only thing from this story is the cliff. is that accurate?
Joel Elliot
You are almost correct. I was imagining a humorous but made up scenario and conveying it in the first person for dramatic effect.

so if the cliff was not real than how could you have been crushed by it?
or you could have said I was wrong lol
snap out of it man ;)

This is youtube. Hello. I made a humorous comment. It wasn't that funny, I admit. It's a lot less funny now it's been deconstructed.
I don't quiet get where you are going with this metaphysical analysis. Sorry :)
theawecabinet It's okay. I still laughed.
"broad daylight" i thought these things only happen at night when we're all sleeping! Well heck
And that's the way the cookie crumbles, I'm Bruce Nolan...
Hello recommended section brothers.
Also, that cliff was loud af
In broad daylight?
NNOOOOO!?
How was that possible?
heres a bigger question !! why did it collapse ?? what caused it..??? hmmmm, ??? earth i think is trying to tell us something...
In daylight... What it's alone suppose to happen at night like a vampire or something
Bandwagoner...
lol lol
Wow that was recordable in 6th grade class were learning about tectonic plates
Jay Leno's latino lovechild......
Broad daylight.... Because most cliffs prefer to collapse at night ....
this is why saiyans train away from people and fight in empty land.
Another man was spotting breathing in broad daylight.
If the side of a cliff falls down in the dark with no one around, does it make a sound?
Earth being Earth.
_...The size of 4 football fields_
show us the night time videos of collapsing cliffs please, you must have plenty if broad daylight is rare
Who got this 7 years later?
“Broad daylight” as of how dare that mountain! 😂
is it just me or is it reallly satisfying to watch
7 years later...
CZcams: "Hey! Watch this! Hey! Hey, watch this!"
everything eventually crumbles...
And here all along I thought cliff were nocturnal
