Rare police footage of San Francisco's Oct 17 1989 earthquake aftermath

This video is so moving. I found it today after my mother and I were talking about earthquakes and worst storms ever recorded in history. She wanted me to find the 1989 earthquake and any coverage. I am not sure why but I did and forward this to her. I am still in shock that this happened my heart breaks to see and hear the stories behind the footage. I have been to SF it is a beautiful place. I remember watching this on the news when I was younger the bridge was all I remembered collapsing.

Wow... this is the first time I've ever seen an actual image of the Cyprus structure collapsing. I was always sure it existed somewhere, but this is - over 20 years later - that I've seen it on the interwebs. Wow...

After 22 years, this is the first time I saw a portion of the freeway fall. Very shocking.

funny how they talk about a 23 year old woman trying to fly across the gap but that footage they show is actually the Fiji man who was directed to drive on the upper deck but I guess was unfamiliar with the bridge and drove into the hole

I was only 2 years old when this happened but our apt complex in south city runs right on the fault line
