Tonnes of white chalk from the cliffs of Dover were filmed plummetting into the English Channel in scenes described online by Remainers as "symbolic".
He heard the bang and saw a large amount of cliff falling but said managing to catch the moment on film was "sheer beginners luck."
He said there was "a loud bang" which was quickly followed by "a large amount of cliff" falling into the English Channel.
He told ITV: "I've lived down this neck of the woods for nearly all of my life, right next to the most famous cliffs in the world.
"You hear about it, you see the remnants of [cliff falls], but to actually see it in person it was really quite impressive."
Twitter users were quick to point out the symbolism of the natural occurrence one saying: "And a dead raven at the Tower of London recently. The kingdom is doomed, I tell you, DOOMED."
Another said: "What a sense of humour, irony, and timing nature has: the iconic cliffs of Brexit Britain crumbling into an icy sea."
Kent Live reported that it was just the third time a collapse of this magnitude has been recorded on the cliffs in almost 20 years.
In 2012, a massive collapse brought both residents and tourists to the cliff edge to survey the damage with warnings issued to hikers.
The iconic White Cliffs of Dover have been eroding 10 times faster in the last 150 years than they did over the previous 7,000 years, researchers say.

The beautiful cliffs that were formed some 90 million years ago are white because of their chalk composition, which is particularly vulnerable to erosion.
For millennia, wide beaches helped slow down erosion, but over the past 150 years, the beach that protected the White Cliffs of Dover has disappeared.
