There's an earthquake and lives lost and all this guy cares about is his Giants and whether he gets to go back and see Game 3 free of charge. Gimme a break!
Driving would be the last thing I'd be doing at that moment. I lived in Santa Cruz when this hit and it was an experience unlike anything that could be conveyed in a video.
I like the shot later in the video where they are driving up Castro as it turrns into Divis and there is all the smoke from the Marina burning... It gives a sense of the extent of the smoke and fire... also, I wouldn't be driving on Duboce/Division under the Central Freeway like he was RIGHT AFTER AN EARTHQUAKE!!! Yikes!
I was in san jose when this happened we were setting up pool tables than it hit you could not stand the house in the back had a swimming pool that spilled out like a bathtub an knocked down a fence.
If my Cubs had beaten the Giants in the 1989 NLCS then that might have meant more deaths in the Bay Area because there would have been more people out on the road at rush hour.
Um I believe the earthquake is around 2 mins. 40 secs. but i have no idea the camera shakes for half a second and that's it. Don't waste your time with the rest of the it, actually don't waste your time with any of it since you don't see anything.
"I was at the Oakland Coliseum last Saturday and they had 4 port-a-potties in the entire parking lot. Here at Candlestick we got a whole bank of em. It's much superior to Oakland baseball."
had a ticket to game 4...i was in los angeles, working by a pool when the quake hit...saw the water over lapping the sides of the pool...thought some weird wind had come up...went to turn on the game and that is when i heard the quake hit
i was freaked, cuz my bro and a bunch of friends were sitting in the upper dexck
It's great how the announcer that is telling the people in the upper deck to head to the nearest exit after the quake and he's still using his 'game voice'.
I was 16 and smoking a bunch of trim from some plants we had stolen in the neighborhood when this knocked me on my back. My uncle was at the game. All of the freeways were blocked and he had to drive down the El Camino Real with no power to Santa Clara. It took 8 hours. We rode our bikes around in the pitch black and went to the SCU campus where all of the students were partying like mad. Wild, freaky night. RIP all those who died. RIP the original brick Pacific Garden mall in Santa Cruz.

what a great world series,not even mother nature could stop the A's from winning a championship.sure you can say the canseco/mcgwire stuff,but people forget that there are 25 guys on the roster,you know why the A's won? because of Dave Stewart.storm davis,bob welch,mike moore,rick honeycutt.eckersley,walt weiss.dave henderson,dave parker.The A's were superior to the Giants were and still are,sure the giants may have the fancy new park,but in their 50yrs in sf,how many championships havethey won?
i guess it shows that Baseball Curses are still alive but man who knows i live in Atlanta, GA the only disaster we've gotten was an F2 tornado but as far as the curse reference i've heard that the Giants behind the cubs are the 2nd cursed team in Baseball but my Atlanta Braves are rocking along even though we lost the NL east but for the victims of the quake god bless indeed and charlievision great footage
the A's have 9,5 in philly and 4 in oakland,only 1 with rickey and that was 89,the other 3 were the dynasty years of the early 70's 72-74,the a's 9 championships are the most in the american league,besides the new york yankees.
@dogstar1967 ..sigh jealousy will get you nowhere. but hey, you do have a nice ballpark. try not to gag in post season...if you get there, that is. Straight A's!!!!
@SuperOmnicron I don't live in san francisco,I just don't admire players that use steroids to further their baseball careers or any athlete for that matter......canseco and mcgwire are a disgrace.......yeah,bonds too.
I get the set up Charlie, and thanks. Some people watched He-Man cartoons when they were 5 years old, and now in adult life their brain is hard-wired for instant feedback or error, it's a problem. Anyway, if the guy who said "this is earthquake weather" at the main gate that day reads this, post something here about it, you had a righteous premonition there, fella.
I was entirely alone when the quake hit. My older brother and I had a routine: I'd get the beer and hot dogs, he'd pay for them and take his seat, I buy you fly deal. So I was heading to his season ticket seats between home plate and 1st in the walkway, the bulkhead was on my right, I'm holding the 2 polish and beers. On the other side of that concrete wall are thousands of people, none in sight next to me in the walkway at the moment it hit, an initial jolt, pause, then shake-a-Roonie time.
It was indeed a nice day, my 27th birthday in fact, and around this time, from where I was standing with the crowd filing into the stadium at the main entrance, it was still, sunny and warm. I didn't see who this person was, but I heard very clearly someone in the crowd say "this is earthquake weather." I always have wondered who that guy was, and why he has not been interviewed. When the quake hit I was in the walkway between the food stalls and the entrance to seats between home and 1st.
Garrett...that's kinda rude, don't you think? i understand you felt you should express your opinion...but don't be so rude about it. Good job on the video, Charlie.
7.1 seems like a kiddie quake compaired to that one that just hit Chili 8.8 Wow. I remember the bay area quake like it was yesterday and it was huge I can't imagine an 8.8
Even though I was in the 4th grade, I remember this so well... At the time my father was at work at the San Francisco Chronicle. I remember being so worried about him with my brother and my sisters and my stepmom.. These recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti made this quake look like nothing but it was still tragic as well.. I hope this shit doesnt continue, now I am very worried...
If that was 6.0 on the ritcher scale, imagine what could have happened if it was a 10.0 earthquake? That is why the bay cities are somewhere i want to visit , but never live there.
If the vid is called Game 3 quake, please have the quake show up much much sooner. If the vid is called "random baseball footage and a slow awkward interview with a special needs child, then eventually an earthquake," then it's titled accurately...but obviously that vid wouldn't be very interesting to people.
early reports were that the bay bridge had collapsed, in reality, a portion of the upper deck partially fell down on the lower deck. but that early report was absolutely shocking !
this footage is amazing. great job. it's so interesting to be driving in the car along for the ride, listening to live radio news reports, seeing the distant fires, and people walking about.
I was there that day!! I still remember it like it was yesterday....let me tell you that a 7.0 quake is pretty major, I can't stop thinking about all those people ih Haiti.
I was living in Santa Cruz at the time with my family. I was at work and was unable to call or get a message to my family to see if they were ok and I was ok. Normally a 10 minute drive home took me 2 hours to get home. Watching the ground roll and shake was the most amazing I have seen in my life.
By the way the Oakland Coliseum before mount davis was built was BY FAR better than Candlestick. Even with mount davis it's still a better place to go than Candlestick. Candlestick is a nightmare. I can't wait until they tear it down and the Niners play in something decent.
At the time of this earthquake, there was a remade version of Carole King's "I Feel The Earh Move", by some girl - Debbie Gibson? I read that it was played on the loudspeakers in the stadium before the game began. No one could know that they all were going to feel the earth move very shortly.
Watched this happen live on TV in Florida. I was 6 at the time, and my grandmother and mom had this on. My aunt lives in Santa Cruz, and when it happened, my grandmother said "Oh my God, they're having an earthquake." After they came back and we started to realize how bad it was, she tried to call her five or six times, but couldn't get through. I didn't really understand what happened, but I've never forgotten it.
Amazing, amazing footage. Most of what I have seen is what was recorded on tv from espn or abc, behind the scenes stuff like this is extremely rare. This brought back so much emotion for me. Hard to believe this was 20 years ago. I was 10 at the time and vividly remember getting ready to watch the game and when the quake came I dove under our coffee table. My dad was eating a salad in the dining room and my sister was making enchiladas in the kitchen for us.
Fact: The 1989 World Series marks the 4th time that the Oakland Athletics faces the San Francisco Giants in the World Series. The two teams previously met in the W.S. was in 1905, 1911 and 1913. My father (a Giants fan, when he was 28 in '89) was shocked that the Earthquake interupted the series at 3Com park. He was disapointed that he has to wait until October 27th and was also disapointed that Oakland won the series, but was glad that the 49ers won the Super Bowl 3 months later.
I know. I can still remember like yesterday. I was just 6 years old when it happened. My fondest memory of it was when we stayed in Navato, in which my stepdad was stationed at. My mother drove to the Safeway up on the hill. That's when it hit and my stepfather holding my infant brother told me to stand still and motionless. The house shook for about 5 seconds. My mom returned 30 minutes later telling us that people panicked.
"IN THE CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE, FANS ON THE UPPER DECK ARE TO REPORT TO THE NEAREST POSSIBLE EMERGENCY EXIT"....
im assuming there was a bit of time lag on the camera since the quake hit at 5:04, but that would be the funniest thing to hear right before it struck which im assuming was just a couple minutes after that was said...great vid by the way. 20 years after surviving the quake heard around the world, bring on the next big one, were waiting for ya...
At 8 years old in Oakland, CA on October 17th, 1989 I uttered words during the earthquake that my sisters will never let me live down, "A monster's shaking the house." - Christopher Burnett
I remember I was in day care watching the baseball game. What sounded like 10-20 kids running down the hallway on the second floor was immediately followed by violent shaking and everybody was looking at each other in disbelief. Scary times and I totally remember a little girl crying for her bird at home. LOL.....
I was at that game that day.. I was 13 years old.. It took us hours to get out of the parking lot, and for about 30 minutes, Joe Montana and his family were in the car next to us. People were really good about driving without stoplights too.. We didnt have power for several days, but they got the water on pretty quickly.. I was just happy that I got a week off school!
absolutely eerie...I was 7 when this happened, I watched and my most vivid memory is after that quake, I think then baseball commissioner made the announcement that Game 3 would be post-poned.
This is one actually surreal yet real event caught on tape without any planning of doing so....what an eerie feeling a combination of thrills & chills....a typical day 2 watch a sporting event - a worls series nonetheless- turned into disasater...what a plot!!??...GOOD JOB CHARLIE!!!
this is funny because nobody has cellphone's!!! If it happened today, everyone would be on their iphone's or blackberry's trying to find out what happened!
this is rare "amateur" footage.. nowadays everythings captured on mobile phones and uploaded with an hour. Cameras back then woulda been fairly bulky too.
I was in Paramount America in San Mateo in May 1994. I was waiting in line for some ride when we started talking with some folks in front of us.
They were from California. We mentioned we're from Kansas. They said they are afraid of tornadoes and we're afraid of quakes. We were afraid of living in each other's home states.
I remember seeing this large brace on an overpass from the ground (probably one of the I-x80's. I'm guessing I-280. We were in the east part of SF.
born at oakknoll hospital in 58 my parents were oakland oaks fans(the fans used to throw chicken bones at the umps) there were no a's grew up giants fan. saw micky mantle and lots of great players at col. love giants
the oakland A's have 4 World Series rings in Oakland. The Giants have 0 in San Francisco. Oakland baseball is far superior to San Francisco! LETS GO OAKLAND
I remember living in San Diego and we felt the shaking all the way there. Wasnt very strong but we knew somewhere got hit very hard. I was 9 yrs old and I remember feeling a sense of saddeness when i saw the damage. I know we in So.Cal are way overdue and hope that Im not here when it hits
Please people "Remember Poor Watsonville" too. Just because it wasn't and still isn't a business and tourist mecca like Oakland, San Fran, Santa Cruz, and San Jose are. But, it deserves to be rembered for the death and destruction it had to suffer through as well!! It took them around seven years to mostly rebuild their town!!..One should forgive these sports fans for their not understanding the situation's severity. Undoubtedly when they saw the Freeway in Oakland, I'm sure they felt very bad!!
Can't forget Hollister either! I had family in Hollister when it happened i wasn't born but they told me stories and it was pretty fucked up because they rarely got any aid because it was all goin to the big cities like you said.
Yes, I'm very sorry to forget about poor "Hollister" , as well!! Indeed my neighbor grew up there. It's one of the most seismecly active regions on the continent! She always used to joke that she'd let the earthquakes rock her to sleep at night!................It's sad that Hollister, Watsonville, and Salinas all got forgotten about............. Take care for now!
2 days before my 3rd bday- i was in san mateo n i thought it was awesome on a huge ship in the playground of aftercare.. i thought god was moving the boat for us.. it was neat until the aftershock knocked me into the hallway from the toilet... scared the sh*t outta me...
I was 8 when this happened. Back when I had less worries. Only worries I had was doing my homework, making sure I watched my favorite cartoons and making sure my mom bought me the correct cereal...lol
I lived in the Bay Area when this happened. As it appeared to be the same with the filmmaker and a lot of the fans, I wasn't harmed. There was no damage to my home or my employer (where I was at the time), so it was a couple of hours before I realized how devastating this really was.
I remember being at that game in 89, I was seven years old. It took us about 5 hours to drive from san francisco to san jose which normaly takes 45 minutes.That and I remember the Giants got swept by the roid brothers...I mean the bash brothers macgwire and cansanco, im not bitter or anything,just wish they would have given the Giants back THEIR trophy because they earned it but I'm not bitter. Fuckin bash brothers
u know what hurricane katriana was not awesome it was a terrible time for new orleans so dont think it was awesome because u might have forgot nut thousends people have lost there lives to that do u know how sad that even is to never see life again just think about that
There's an earthquake and lives lost and all this guy cares about is his Giants and whether he gets to go back and see Game 3 free of charge. Gimme a break!

early reports were that the bay bridge had collapsed, in reality, a portion of the upper deck partially fell down on the lower deck. but that early report was absolutely shocking !

I was there that day!! I still remember it like it was yesterday....let me tell you that a 7.0 quake is pretty major, I can't stop thinking about all those people ih Haiti.

I was living in Santa Cruz at the time with my family. I was at work and was unable to call or get a message to my family to see if they were ok and I was ok. Normally a 10 minute drive home took me 2 hours to get home. Watching the ground roll and shake was the most amazing I have seen in my life.

By the way the Oakland Coliseum before mount davis was built was BY FAR better than Candlestick. Even with mount davis it's still a better place to go than Candlestick. Candlestick is a nightmare. I can't wait until they tear it down and the Niners play in something decent.

At the time of this earthquake, there was a remade version of Carole King's "I Feel The Earh Move", by some girl - Debbie Gibson? I read that it was played on the loudspeakers in the stadium before the game began. No one could know that they all were going to feel the earth move very shortly.

Watched this happen live on TV in Florida. I was 6 at the time, and my grandmother and mom had this on. My aunt lives in Santa Cruz, and when it happened, my grandmother said "Oh my God, they're having an earthquake." After they came back and we started to realize how bad it was, she tried to call her five or six times, but couldn't get through. I didn't really understand what happened, but I've never forgotten it.

Amazing, amazing footage. Most of what I have seen is what was recorded on tv from espn or abc, behind the scenes stuff like this is extremely rare. This brought back so much emotion for me. Hard to believe this was 20 years ago. I was 10 at the time and vividly remember getting ready to watch the game and when the quake came I dove under our coffee table. My dad was eating a salad in the dining room and my sister was making enchiladas in the kitchen for us.

Fact: The 1989 World Series marks the 4th time that the Oakland Athletics faces the San Francisco Giants in the World Series. The two teams previously met in the W.S. was in 1905, 1911 and 1913. My father (a Giants fan, when he was 28 in '89) was shocked that the Earthquake interupted the series at 3Com park. He was disapointed that he has to wait until October 27th and was also disapointed that Oakland won the series, but was glad that the 49ers won the Super Bowl 3 months later.

I know. I can still remember like yesterday. I was just 6 years old when it happened. My fondest memory of it was when we stayed in Navato, in which my stepdad was stationed at. My mother drove to the Safeway up on the hill. That's when it hit and my stepfather holding my infant brother told me to stand still and motionless. The house shook for about 5 seconds. My mom returned 30 minutes later telling us that people panicked.

"IN THE CASE OF AN EARTHQUAKE, FANS ON THE UPPER DECK ARE TO REPORT TO THE NEAREST POSSIBLE EMERGENCY EXIT"....
im assuming there was a bit of time lag on the camera since the quake hit at 5:04, but that would be the funniest thing to hear right before it struck which im assuming was just a couple minutes after that was said...great vid by the way. 20 years after surviving the quake heard around the world, bring on the next big one, were waiting for ya...

I remember I was in day care watching the baseball game. What sounded like 10-20 kids running down the hallway on the second floor was immediately followed by violent shaking and everybody was looking at each other in disbelief. Scary times and I totally remember a little girl crying for her bird at home. LOL.....

I was at that game that day.. I was 13 years old.. It took us hours to get out of the parking lot, and for about 30 minutes, Joe Montana and his family were in the car next to us. People were really good about driving without stoplights too.. We didnt have power for several days, but they got the water on pretty quickly.. I was just happy that I got a week off school!

I was in Paramount America in San Mateo in May 1994. I was waiting in line for some ride when we started talking with some folks in front of us.
They were from California. We mentioned we're from Kansas. They said they are afraid of tornadoes and we're afraid of quakes. We were afraid of living in each other's home states.
I remember seeing this large brace on an overpass from the ground (probably one of the I-x80's. I'm guessing I-280. We were in the east part of SF.

Please people "Remember Poor Watsonville" too. Just because it wasn't and still isn't a business and tourist mecca like Oakland, San Fran, Santa Cruz, and San Jose are. But, it deserves to be rembered for the death and destruction it had to suffer through as well!! It took them around seven years to mostly rebuild their town!!..One should forgive these sports fans for their not understanding the situation's severity. Undoubtedly when they saw the Freeway in Oakland, I'm sure they felt very bad!!

Can't forget Hollister either! I had family in Hollister when it happened i wasn't born but they told me stories and it was pretty fucked up because they rarely got any aid because it was all goin to the big cities like you said.

I lived in the Bay Area when this happened. As it appeared to be the same with the filmmaker and a lot of the fans, I wasn't harmed. There was no damage to my home or my employer (where I was at the time), so it was a couple of hours before I realized how devastating this really was.
