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.
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.

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