Pan across view of Southend Pier to show large amount of damage, broken wood, twisted metal, and the like, where a boat has crashed into the pier, nearly "cutting it in two." Various shots of the damage to the pier with people looking on, and what appears to be a repair/salvage boat tied up along side. | |
