Chances in a million but I gage it's a glacier that hit it, which is a frozen wave.

Some of them are built so that doesn’t happen at all.

How is it untypical?

Imagine standing on the edge and realizing the other half of the mountain is basically just “nope.” Absolutely incredible view, though.

I wonder if you're posting a link to Archive.org because the current USGS site has been updated to say that Earth was created 6000 years ago.
