Oct 17, 1989:
Earthquake rocks San Francisco
The deadliest earthquake to hit the San Francisco area since 1906
strikes at 5:04 p.m. and lasts for 15 seconds. The quake measured
7.1 on the Richter scale, and its aftermath was witnessed on live
television by millions of people watching the third game of the
World Series of baseball between the San Francisco Giants and the
Oakland Athletics, held at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The
tremor hit moments before the start of the game, and
sportscasters were soon performing the duties of news anchors as
they reported on the resulting pandemonium in the stadium. The
earthquake killed a total of 63 people, while more than 3,000
others were injured and more than 100,000 buildings were damaged.
