Watch through the end; that’s when it gets really silly.

My question: where is the cameraman standing? Why does he think whatever he’s standing on is immune?

    I don't think he's anywhere near the action. The scale of this thing is enormous. Also if you notice, the horizon is well above the water level at the breach. This implies that he is well ABOVE the water level. If we knew how far he is from the breach, we could figure out how high he is (or vice versa).

    This place should be viewable from space, somebody find this on Google Earth

    Mild correction: it WAS observable from space.

    Add 16 years of erosion on sand below sea level, and it'll look like a shallow sea for miles around.

    Comparison dates should be from before 1993, which may be too early for satellite images of the area.
