Teenage Girl Buried Alive in Beach Bluff Landslide

Written by Randy Post

Tuesday, 19 February 2008

A teenage girl strolling on the beach in Pacifica, California was buried alive by a landslide. She was buried up to her chest, and a passer-by dug her out with his bare hands while more soil and rock fell around them. Story at KTVU San Francisco. See a nice oblique aerial photo of the beach prior to the landslide here. Those slopes don't look particularly stable to me but what do I know?
