Notice docks in the foreground. SF used to have a thriving commercial dock system. The unions killed it.

LOL! Thanks for the keeper. That was awesome!

There are additional (better) pics and maps that will give a better perspective of the damaged area. Also goes into some detail of what this “kite” contraption actually was.

Thanks for posting that.

Massive vitality, energetic people and the full flower of American ingenuity displayed in the profusion of autos, trolley cars and people going places and doing things.

Now that $hole has nothing but perverts, welfare queens, illegal immigrants, bums and junkies with rigs hanging out of their arms.

Plan for the Reset, good people.

Looks to me like the Fairmont hotel up on the hill survived the quake.

My grandfather would have been there, he was starting up a banking business on orange crates for people wanting to rebuild.
