.
Actually the radio tower is at least a mile above the fault.

The fault runs along Arlington.

yes. close tho.

and the greatest damage is generally away from the fault lines ... anyway..... mostly on fill dirt (and multi-decker or heavy structures) like... in 89 the greatest damage was in the Marina (fill dirt from the 06 quake), Burlingame Hyatt (big heavy building on fill dirt), SF Bay Bridge (built down thru bay of course), eastshore freeway (collapsed, sandwiched at the first segment built on fill dirt), and geologists said that had the quake lasted longer than 29 seconds then Foster city and redwood shores (all built on bay mud) would have completed liquification (and buildings would have sunk into the mud).

but none of the above high-damage sites is on the quake fault line, nor are any of them near the epicenter down at Loma Prieta by San Jose
