People are really in shock here. I've seen the same thing happen at a bad car accident. The guy barking orders was the best thing for tem to get them to try to come to their senses.

@tmmccorm Is there any clips of Los Altos and San Jose getting damage from the quake I noticed that I never seen a clip from San Jose in 1989 getting damage since its closer to the epicenter than Oakland.

@DoUWanna007 I also heard the Academy of Sciences was damaged severely, too, and had to close the bird hall building permanently, until the 2004 renovation closure.

@abehammy Not really. Candlestick could have collapsed if the shaking continued. Best place to be is on Potrero Hill or Twin Peaks. The area around the cable car turnaround on Market Street all the way to the Ferry Building is 'land fill' dirt, which means if a quake happens, a thing called 'liquidfaction' would happen to the dirt which means it turns to mud. The bay water is directly under all that area. I'm outta San Fran now in Northern CA in the foothills.

Was Candlestick the safest place to be in SF at the time?

2:04 hose win, fetching a pail of water fail.

I was in Gilroy a few miles from Loma Prieta, the epicenter. I was out running and heard trees cracking in the distance. The trees were along a creek next to the trail I was on. I looked up and saw the trees swaying before I felt anything. These were the P waves and I actually got to watch them come before I felt anything. When the first waves hit, I had already braced myself. I watched a small crack open up in the asphalt between my legs. I will never forget that day.

"Shut off electricity." I think the earthquake took care of that. The fireman forgot to tell them to stock up on bread and milk.

SF didnt even feel it like SC.. I watched the earth move like a wave. I tried to run but couldnt even keep my footing. Freshman in High School.. seems like yesterday.
