Geology in Action

This is why you should always back up to cliffs that you want to stand on top of, so you can run away faster!

It is very early in the morning. Yes I know its only a little after 7am but I really am not a morning person. Like most mornings leaving the dock in Moss Landing it is foggy and relatively cold. I'm not whining its just cold for a southern boy.
Imagine you were a very clever ant, living on a large log, floating in a big lake...

A little background: In case you were wondering how someone just happened to be filming this, the guy with the camera was "geologist Richard Hocking - a soils and materials engineer for Cornwall Council"; he and others had noticed cracks at the top of the cliff, and just a few days earlier a footpath had been re-routed away from the dangerous area.

I don't think you could run fast enough to escape that. You'd be several meters below the new edge before you figured out what happened.
