“One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires.”
Portions of the Santa Cruz Wharf, which was featured in The Lost Boys, collapsed into the Pacific Ocean yesterday, according to a report on Deadline. Approximately 150 feet of the 2,745 foot structure couldn’t withstand the 15-20 foot waves. A handful of people had to be rescued from the water as it broke apart. Videos, which can be seen below, show the destruction.
About the last 150′ of the Santa Cruz Wharf crashed into the ocean this afternoon, taken out by very large swells. 3 people fell into the ocean, but they’ve been rescued. The @scwharf is now closed indefinitely.#CAwx #SantaCruzWharf https://t.co/zXuHlyeWVQ
