I know, I know, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Indeed, there are so many tpyos on Neatorama that it's sort of a sport for its readers to hunt for 'em. But this one is precious: New Hampshire's Valley News misspelled its own name!
Regret the Error, a blog dedicated to documenting this sort of mistakes, had already picked it for 2008 Typo of the Year: Link (The typo is still visible in the newspaper's archive section)

You can never be too far above the ocean to be safe from freakishly-high and powerful waves, unless you're in a plane, hot-air balloon or the space shuttle.
Just ask the men who died aboard the Ocean Ranger - an oil rig off the coast of Newfoundland - when it went down back in the 80's. The computers that controlled the ballast tanks and pumps were all shorted out and destroyed when a rogue wave hit a porthole that wasn't storm-rated and smashed it out, letting water into the ballast control room. That porthole was approx. 70' above the waterline.
Cliffs exist because of erosion. The only way something that vertical is there in the first place is because it's constantly crumbling - otherwise it'd be a beach or a swamp or something gentler.
The media are full of stories of houses falling into the sea because of costal erosion...and this looks like another, just waiting to happen.
