I feel sorry for your loss

Same here, I just told someone this and came to look for the video

I don’t like comments but I’ll like this cuz ur father passed and give you a sub

I turned 1 that day and apparently my dad had just crossed the bridge before it collapsed. Crazy.

An Earthquake

@@bradyrhodess nah that was an Al

@@KangaKucha Didn't get "quake"....

Same exact for me ... I was 8 years old, my Mom let me watch the start of the World Series (I was a Mets fan but still very interested in baseball...) as she cooked dinner and waited for my Dad to get home ... I can still remember being like MOM MOM MOM COME LOOK THEY'RE HAVING AN *EARTHQUAKE!!!* and her being like "What now?! What's all the commotion for??!" == "AN EARTHQUAKE!!! ON *TV* !!!" and yeah, right here on TV...

Oh wow 😄

Ha! How fitting.

Ask him to show you a ticket. I've still got mine and I don't remember any of that bullshit. There was no singing after the quake the police went around with a loudspeaker and told everyone to leave and go home.

@@tomdyson935 Probably because you left early.

Actually I was there and they were singing. Will the real slim shady please stand up

Derick Bowman Fuck Yeah! Granny had a front row seat!!

that must have been terrifying

That would be terrible, but she was in the safest place you could be in that moment.

Wow!

@ Kevin Briner yeah at least she wasn’t on the ground yet and in her hotel or out and about somewhere

me too

He's not playing a character, assfuck.

wow,, Chrissy,,,, hugs my dear.

Bet you can't imagine what Chileans go through.

Where do you live now?

No shit you didn't feel anything in L.A.

Naw.

Mike Easterday wow that’s crazy . Dog knew it was about to go down

@@iSdot722 it was already going down, dogs have way better sense than us so the dog felt the smaller waves announcing the earthquake. This is also why seismometers can "predict" earthquakes by a few minutes.

Sorry buddy, A's were King!

And in their home area.

And in their state of origin.

@@dtoskar New Yorksylvania?

yes, please avoid watching sporting events, at least in EQ prone regions lol

So you admit it was kind of your fault!

I was 11 as well, watching at my dad's house in SJ. I remember my brother sitting on the couch and it started bouncing off the floor. My 12 year old brother enjoyed the bumpy ride.

Actually, other than maybe seeing some dust come up, it would have looked very much the same.

+Joseph Perez I was taking one BECAUSE it happened.

I was 12 when I saw this in Chicago and became facinated with Earthquakes afterwards.

Do you remember anything from that age? :P

Wishful thinking.

The Giants were never winning that Series in any timeline unfortunately

If San Francisco and Oakland had NOT been in the World Series that year, the death toll would have been well over 100,000.

@@sharonmorine5407 Suppose Chicago and Toronto had been in the World Series that year? It would have been newsworthy (Cubs in it; Blue Jays as first foreign team in it); but California would have been business as usual. The traffic would have been the usual, with thousands of cars. Can you imagine how many cars would have been on the I-880 bridge, if that had been a normal day? As it was, San Francisco and Oakland were in the World Series. The entire state of California celebrated. Schools and businesses closed early that day, to give people time to get home and watch the game. As a result, traffic was far lighter than normal, and that's why the death toll was so low. By the grace of God, San Francisco and Oakland were in the World Series, and that fact alone saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

That's what's up!!!😁

Robert Weeks , Glad you survived! 🍀

I lived in Novato at the time which was 10 miles north. One minute later, the house shook.

I can tell the damage was severe because parts of the highway collapsed violently due to the earthquake.

Remember that at the time, information couldn't get out nearly as quickly as it does today. At that moment, basically all the information ABC had was what Al and Timmy could see from the press box and report over the backup POTS line. They were using that break to figure out what exactly (if anything) they could do from the stadium. I've worked in broadcasting (at a local level) and you can figure out a lot in terms of emergency backup plans when you've got two or three minutes.

+Gavin Nielsen (B00ie23), when they're trying to say that, someone said "I LIKE TRAINS".

I wonder what its set up like today. I assume they learned a lot from that disaster.

Hammerschlägen M they said brother, not sister.
