Fortunabeargirl (OP) User ID: 78210922 United States 08/08/2021 10:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There are just some things that dont add up for me. The article linked mentioned that the concrete columns are an old foundation built in 1970 ON TOP of the bluff. How did it get buried then? What event happened post 1970 that would completely bury the foundation? It was buried so completely that it was forgotten until the erosión caused by the pounding waves unearthed it? So the burying and revealing by erosion all happened within 50 years? The article makes it a point to state that it "resembles ancient ruins." It doesnt make sense.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80666525 Any ideas on how the "foundation" was initially buried? This foundation was supposedly built in 1970.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 68825092 United States 08/08/2021 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In California they have to do a lot of work after the fact to try to stabilize moving earth because it moves a lot in California. They go into sliding homes and drill deep holes down to bedrock to stabilize the structures. That picture looks like either there was a structure that they tried to stabilize by drilling, attaching to bedrock and filling the drill holes with concrete for support and the structure fell into the ocean anyway. Or the Ritz is just trying to stabilize the coastline itself to protect its building and the land is falling away and showing the work done. I'm no expert but I've lived in California and know they do this type of retrofitting all the time. |
Fortunabeargirl (OP) User ID: 78035183 United States 08/08/2021 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I, at first, thought this to be a satisfactory explanation for how the columns could be buried. But when I went back to the pic that was in the linked article, there is clearly a flat wall (that was already dismantled in the first pic) that can be seen behind the columns. One cannot build a flat wall underground from aboveground Also, the lines on the columns look to be intentionally symetrical. Sometimes I feel like a nut.
