Vandals destroying a famous sandstone pedestal at Cape Kiwanda
Vandals in Oregon have sparked nationwide outrage after they were caught on video destroying a well-known rock formation at Cape Kiwanda:
“It just breaks my heart because so many people have grown up around that rock,” David Kalas, who took the video of the rock being pushed over, said.
“We looked over and there were probably 8 guys pushing over the rock,” Kel said. “They kind of just laughed it off and took it with pride that they destroyed something so magnificent and disappeared after. It had no meaning to them whatsoever.”
Kalas said he thought the group was just posing for a picture when he heard screams. He and his friend Michael Kel went over to the rock and noticed it wobbling.
Watch as the vandals destroy something that took nature thousands of years to make:

The area where the sandstone pedestal was located had warning signs and was fenced off by Oregon State Park officials because the sandstone is unstable and there have been six deaths in just the last two years alone.
