Video: Tourists' narrow escape from disastrous accident after cliff collapses on UK beach

A video of a terrifying incident has left social media users shocked. A group of tourists had a narrow escape when a part of a 150-feet-high cliff in Dorset's West Bay in the UK collapsed. The incident was captured in a video that has quickly gained traction on social media.

The Dorset Council even shared the video on its Twitter handle, emphasizing the possibility of rockfalls and landslips at any time. The council has temporarily closed the South West Coast Path above the cliff as a safety precaution. The beachgoers spotted the collapsing cliff and managed to run to safety just in time.

The video shows a man, dressed in an orange t-shirt, taking a photo of the World Heritage Site when small rocks start falling. Eventually, a large chunk of the cliff breaks off and falls into the sea. The lives of those present were spared as they watched the debris plunge into the water.

Social media users expressed their shock at the incident, with some expressing their disappointment in people ignoring warning signs. The cliff, known as the Jurassic Coast's Golden Gateway, is a hazardous area stretching for miles. This incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers posed by these cliffs.
