Wild footage from spring break gathering along Savannah beach shows topless women fighting and mounds of trash being washed into the ocean

Spring break celebrations took a tumultuous turn at the annual Orange Crush gathering in Savannah, as shocking videos emerged showcasing topless brawls and massive amounts of garbage washing into the ocean.

The Orange Crush event, known as a college spring break party on Tybee Island within the popular Georgia resort town, witnessed several troubling incidents. One video depicted piles of trash strewn along the coastline, swept into the ocean by the waves.

At this year's Orange Crush event, some unruly partiers exchanged blows while other attendees cheered them on. The footage was one of several shocking social media posts from the annual Savannah, Georgia, spring break gathering

Another video captured a disturbing beach boardwalk altercation where several women engaged in violent physical altercations, resulting in some losing their tops during the fight. This chaotic scene left many on social media questioning the transformation of Tybee Island into a chaotic spectacle.

Despite the alarming videos, local and state officials offered positive feedback regarding the 2024 gatherings, with one official stating that overall, everyone was getting along fairly well. However, a video of the fight, garnering nearly 65,000 views, depicted the women engaged in physical confrontations while other revelers cheered them on.

During the fight, several women pummeled one another and snatched at each other's hair

During the brawl, some women had their tops pulled down or displaced, leading to attempts to cover up. In a particularly distressing moment, a woman with fiery orange hair violently attacked another woman, pulling her hair and striking her until being restrained by others. The violence continued as one woman in a green bikini received a forceful punch that momentarily snapped her head back.

Throughout the lengthy video, onlookers applauded and cheered as the brawl unfolded. Some participants stepped away, visibly disoriented and trying to fix their appearance.

Towards the end of the video, a man was seen swinging a torn extension belonging to a woman in the air beside the boardwalk.

Nearly 6,000 partiers arrived at Tybee Island for this year's event. Last year, the city struggled to handle some of the more obstreperous attendees

Commenters on the video expressed shock at the aggressive scene, with one noting surprise at the female participants' aggressiveness compared to males. Others questioned why Orange Crush had not been shut down given these incidents.

In another video uploaded to TikTok, the extent of litter along the shore was documented. The video showcased empty beer cans, liquor bottles, and other debris strewn across the sand, ultimately washing into the ocean. Despite the presence of hundreds of people on the coastline amidst the trash, few seemed engaged in cleaning efforts.

At this year's Orange Crush, there were plenty of calm and considerate partiers who conducted themselves responsibly

This year's Orange Crush attracted over 6,000 partiers, primarily college students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), to Tybee Island. Despite the chaos captured in online footage, officials described Saturday's event as relatively peaceful. Major Bob Holley of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources noted that behavior had been generally good, with minimal medical incidents being addressed.

Prior to the event, Tybee city took precautions to avoid a repeat of the previous year's tumultuous Orange Crush, where over 100,000 partiers overwhelmed the island's resources. The city's police force faced challenges managing reports of gunfire, fights, and drug overdoses during the 2023 event.

Chatham County opted not to rent out the pier's pavilion, a previously problematic area during Orange Crush gatherings. The pier was repurposed as a law enforcement staging area, enhancing control over the event.

Despite the violent incidents captured in online footage, there were also videos showcasing peaceful beachgoers enjoying their vacation time.

One attendee of Orange Crush highlighted that the violent actions of a few individuals did not represent the entire group's intentions, emphasizing the desire for fun and camaraderie while discarding negative behavior.

Tybee Island joins other beach towns in dealing with disruptive spring-break attendees, with Miami Beach recently implementing curfews and strict measures to address similar issues. Despite these challenges, Fort Lauderdale welcomed spring breakers, with some revelers praising the more relaxed atmosphere compared to Miami's stricter policies and safety concerns from previous years.
