North Carolina beach house collapses dramatically into sea

National Park Service says collapse is seventh in Rodanthe in four years and warns of dangerous debris on beach

The home on a beach of North Carolina's Outer Banks leaned against the surf before the pilings below it sagged, then gave way, toppling the entire structure into the sea.

A beachgoer posted video of the collapse on Instagram on 16 August. A Rodanthe NC house was consumed by the ocean right in front of me!" the caption read.
