WATCH 1906 San Francisco Earthquake FootageThe utter destruction seen in the 2015
movie San Andreas is more in line
with the April 18, 1906 San Francisco
earthquake than others in more recent
years. Over 80% of San Francisco was
destroyed and approximately 3,000 people
lost their lives. However, it was not the
magnitude 7.8 (approx.) earthquake and its
aftershocks that caused most of the
damage. It has been estimated that the
subsequent fires that burned out of
control for three days accounted for up to
90% of the total devastation. This 1906
San Francisco earthquake footage shows the
survivors amid the smoldering ruins. |
WATCH 1989 San Francisco Earthquake FootageThis video features footage from the
October 17, 1989 San Francisco earthquake,
commonly referred to as the San
Francisco-Oakland earthquake or the Loma
Prieta earthquake. It occurred during a
live broadcast of the 1989 World Series at
Candlestick Park. Damage included the
collapse of an upper deck section of the
Bay Bridge and the catastrophic collapse
of the upper level of the Cypress Street
Viaduct, which claimed 42 lives. |

WATCH San Andreas Movie Without the CGIIf the San Andreas movie was made
without the help of computers, this is
what it would look like. These clips show
you various movie scenes before the CGI
was added. They're not nearly as
impressive as the finished product, but
they still look pretty cool. |
