- The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake physically ripped the surface of the Earth for hundreds of miles. But time--and civilization--has erased the trace. In this award-winning documentary, USGS scientists literally unearth the trace of the massive 1906 earthquake--and discover the stunning number of people who live right on top of it.
I'd love to see an update on the developments of the fault, considering we've had so many new earthcracks on the west coast.
Its been 113 years now since 5:12 am April 18th 1906. So far so good but we should never get too lax
According to a report on 60 Minutes, the video of a trip down Market Street was roughly a week before the 1906 Earthquake
Great report! We just had one, 01/04/2018 at 2:39am..
Terrific detective work, thanks for the excellent insight.
The Wrights Tunnel, on the railroad between Los Gatos and Santa Cruz is bisected by the fault and the tunnel was offset by the 1906 quake. The railroad was torn up after WW2, but the tunnel is still there. Some digging would be necessary to get back into the tunnel and find the offset section, but a precise measurement would still be possible. The Loma Prieta offset could also be found down there.
Melissa Sue is quite right. The tunnel entrances at both ends were dynamited at the outset of WWII, and the interior, presumably intact, preserves the offset from the 1906 quake. Geologists would love to get back inside the tunnel to have a look, but it would require the tricky operation of removed substantial debris. That idea has so far been rejected on the grounds that it would be too dangerous and too expensive. Still, if you're in the Bay Area, a trip to the quite secluded opening to the tunnel at Wright Station is some pretty spooky fun.
Clean story Nice documentary

Great video. And it reminds me to never live in California.
A great video, as were the other ones from the same source I watched earlier. But I have to agree with Brian's professor - if they're stupid enough to build and live on the side of a sandy seaside escarpment, on a fault, it's basically evolution at work.
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump I stand corrected. :-)
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump It seems some people in the first world are so comfortable these days that they think life is like a climate-controlled mall. I grew up in Canada in central Ontario, in a snow belt area with "challenging" winters, and now live in Jamaica, which is also a challenge. Comfort has never been a given - and who wants it, anyway. Just makes you fat and stupid.
I hear the Hayward fault is more likely to rupture before the San Andreas
yes
Muy interesante, antes de comprar propiedad hay que investigas que hay debajo. Mucho 👁👁👁👁
it was never taught in school and should had been especially in california
I always think about how San Jose will be covered with water if a tsunami comes.
Not likely, the 7.9 in 1906 didn't do that and that is about the biggest magnitude we can ever expect on the San Andreas. The 1906 quake produced a tsunami of 10cm -- about 4 inches!
