I was 7 years old when this happened and I remember it as if it was yesterday. I was in town visiting family. We were eating out when all of this happened. Let's just say I haven't been back to California since. I'm a bit scared.

The driver died, sadly.

I was born in 87 and my sis was born in 88. My dad was working in san francisco at the time. My dad forgot something in his store so he went back to get it. If he didn't he would have been on that bridge...kind ok wish he was now that I think about it.

I had nightmares for the longest time about the people caught in the freeway collapses inside...the news fed my nightmares for days. It was the most horrific taking of life I have ever seen.

@82Nikkis six people died in that.
4 people crashed into each other.
1 car flipped over and tummpled down the broken section.
and the other 1 just slammed into a truck.

The new one wont beat the old one,but it will be safer to drive cause Caltranz FUCKED IT UP.

0:46 it looks like the passenger grabbed the unconscious driver by the hair on the top of his head and jerked the guys head up...?...

When you have every day people helping, going right to the areas that are still unsafe to help rescue people that to me is a hero.

im glad the ppl in japan is getting all the help they need from all the ppl all over the world but i don't remember if japan helped the ppl of the bay area when they was hit by the big one.
It's criminal that 20 years later the Bay Bridge is still not seismically safe...can't believe they call this the Golden State. Where is the will?
