  • I knew the kid that was in the car on the bridge. His mom was killed and his legs caught fire. He went to my school. I wonder how he's doing

  • Kron was pro as heck back then. They're a joke network now.

  • Hard to believe this was 22 years ago today. It seems like yesterday to me. It is also hot in SF today, like it was that day.

  • I remember this broadcast-my friends had power on in the Twin Peaks area. After they would report, the screen would go blue and just emergency info would appear. To make a call, you would have to pick up the phone and wait while it simply made "clicking" sounds until a dial tone would start. What a night that was-I hope I never have to witness something like that again.

  • Somewhere I have tape of KRON coming back on the air right after the earthquake knocked them off- they're in the studio mostly in the dark since the main power wasn't working. I taped KTVU at the same time and uploaded that last week.

  • that is sooo bad

  • this was the quake shown in the book Smile

  • "Crake..Quake"

  • Susanne Shaw had one of the best news caster voices. I remember when she was with Channel 7 KGO as Suzanne Saunders...
