Moment huge chunk of rock weighing 1,000 tonnes collapses off Dorset coastal cliff

Images show a huge chunk of rock weighing more than 1,000 tonnes, come crashing down onto a beach from 150 foot cliffs in Dorset.

A small 'puff of dust' can be seen coming from the middle of the sandstone cliff, at West Bay, second before the massive rockfall at 10.53am on January 18.

The fall immediately weakened the neighbouring rock buttress which then went the same way and luckily the beach was empty due to the cold and cloudy conditions on the day.
