this is great would love an updated one with same experts , sharing new data. chilling at the end when that one expert states we wont be 10, 20 or 30 years without a serious quake , and I am watching 20 years past now almost in 2024
No mention of the tens of thousands of barrels of nuclear waste dumped around the Farallon Islands until 1970, or the many ships that were sunk in the area after being exposed to radiation during nuclear testing in the 40's and 50's. There still hasn't been sufficient testing done to determine the extent of contamination. And they wonder why Pacifica has some of the most contaminated beaches. I wouldn't blame it all on creek runoff. I grew up in Pacifica. As much as we wanted to dip our toes in the cold water as it chased us up the beach, just something about that orangish-yellowish sea foam that made it just so icky.
..i remember it well... its still there..the old post office and store burned years back..in the late 60's it was a hippie hangout..we would go there and do just that..years back a local news channel did a show /story about it... havnt been there in many years now.. wonder how it is...
I will miss Brian. He did retired? I enjoy seeing him on the news. Plus he has a great sense of humor. Had a crush on him. I am glad he retired. He was always so busy. I am retired too. Ha ha Marie LeMay
I was just over 3 years old when this happened. The only thing I remember from that time was Jules Bergman and his model spacecraft. ABC was the only network we could receive clearly, and I doubt I had anything else important to do. :)
We all know that another major earthquake will strike the bay area. The devastation will be unlike anything we've seen before. Because the scope of human vulnerability in the area has never been greater. It's predicted that 30 to 40 thousand people will die in the first few weeks, 50% of all buildings totally destroyed, downtown San Francisco buried in 4 to 5 feet of broken glass, and underground infrastructure throughout the peninsula totally destroyed. The scale of it will easily overwhelm first aid responders and very few people are prepared for even a few weeks of isolation and lack of services. In my case, earthquake preparedness included getting far away from the bay area altogether. I just hope that being 4.5 hours away by car is far enough.
I was there in San Francisco in July of 89 my first time visiting The City. It was hard to imagine anything happening to the most beautiful and breathtaking area in the entire country! I went back East for my sophomore year in undergraduate school and a girl I dated at the time ran into the college library were I was working and told me about the quake from watching the World Series! I couldn’t reach my friend who lived in Sacramento for like 2 weeks! Many mixed emotions as I watch this video and the profound sadness I felt about that marvelous city! But also encouraged by the bravery shown by all citizens to help out! God bless San Francisco!

It's not often one sees a documentary that is informative and entertaining as well as serious and yet somehow whimsical (if that word can ever be applied to earthquakes). "R.I.P., Matilda's resting place"...that's just cute. This is top-notch local reporting that is still interesting and relevant in 2023, and I thank you for the opportunity to view it.
I drove the entire fault line in the Alaskafornia tour bus we drove from Fremont up to the memorial stadium and my oldest brother and I and my dad went to the stadium I was so excited in my heart to be standing on the Hayward fault and that was a historical moment for me
Not exactly. CNO cycle fusion occurs in stars larger than our sun. While proton-proton chain fusion, the type our sun experiences, occurs in stars like ours and smaller. There are more red dwarf stars in the universe than any other type of star (a star smaller than our sun), therefore, the more common fusion type would be proton-proton.
@@hellfire0332 I saw (on YT) some cool lectures from prof. Kulhánek (cool Czech teacher) that he compares our sun with Betelgeuse star. He said that in stars occurs both types of fusion. :D And of course, like I wrote and you agree on our sun is hydrogen fusion in majority. In Betelegeuse is it opossite. I am not expert, but understand, that universe must be created from simpliest atoms to complicated. And I hear somewhere, that Fe (iron) is the most energetically stable. For the layman, an atom with a lower proton number can fusion to iron and atoms with a higher proton number can fission to iron. Is that right?
I like this kind of vids. This is how youtube used to be for the most part. Short, to the point, and somehow entertaining at least. Instead of an attention wh*re blabing on and on for 15 mins.
This was the report I've always wanted to see..... the actual, physical fault on the topography and the effect it had. That always fascinated me but everything I've seen was always so abstract and just talk.... thank you for this upload!
"In a sense, it's [the San Pablo Bay] the official end of the Hayward fault..." The vagueness is likely because the Rodgers Creek fault -- that runs from that point up into Sonoma, right through Santa Rosa into Windsor, is actually a continuation of the Hayward fault. They meet up via a jog under water in the bay. Seems very likely there is a connection there.
As I live in the UK we don't get earthquakes as big as the USA, but I do remember back in 2008 February we had a 5.2 earthquake that was a big one for here, it happened at 01:15am.
Thank you Brian. I originally watched this several years ago. This program is even more reverent today. It should be a must watch for every Bay Area resident once a year.
