What occurred was captured in a viral video
The vandals who pulled this historic rock down to the ground in Oregon’s Cape Kiwanda State Natural Park were caught on camera in a seven-second video.
Consider the horror that may have occurred if someone had been traveling in the valley below. It is fatal to be struck by a massive boulder. David, a teenage traveler, took the video using his cellphone. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing at first.
“I was like, you know, they’re not going to push down…this gigantic rock,” he said to reporters, “and then you see in my camera that they just collapse the boulder over.” Though it may appear to be merely a rock, the park and that particular rock have a long history.
