Lifeguards Mullen and Hofmann were on high alert when they witnessed the Santa Cruz Wharf collapse, feeling the eerie sound as wooden pilings cracked. Their quick response was crucial as they navigated their Jet Ski to aid those stranded on the wreckage.
"When I flipped around just in time to see the splash of something going in at the end of the stick... we could see the true scope of what had happened," said Mullen, highlighting the sudden nature of the collapse and the urgency that ensued.
Hofmann described the scene as "surreal," with a light post upright at the water's edge, creating an image of an island floating surrounded by debris. This stark portrayal emphasized the destruction caused.
