Duckbill (rock formation)
Duckbill was a sandstone hoodoo rock formation at Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, in the U.S. state of Oregon. The formation served as a tourist attraction along the Oregon Coast and was photographed frequently prior to being toppled by a group of teenage vandals on August 29, 2016.
The group of vandals who toppled the popular landmark asserted that they did so to eliminate a safety hazard because a friend of theirs had broken a leg on the rock formation, apparently thinking that they thus did a public service. Chris Havel, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department associate director, however, noted that the formation was fenced-off and signs warned visitors against approaching it: "The fence is very clear; you have to intentionally move the wires aside and crawl through it."
The vandals have not been caught.
