As a young reporter back in the day, I would interview a survivor of the 1906 quake—this was before we had our own quake in 89.
I nice record of what would soon become demolished.

This is proof that it’s not just women who are crazy drivers.
Shows that jaywalking was invented after cars. :^)

All that busy traffic with no controls amazing.
Is the sound actual?
I start laughing out loud when I hear lefty Californians talking about “sustainable development”....
SF could have another “big one” at any time.
Cities on or near major earthquake faults are about as unsustainable as it gets.
How did they keep the streets so clean?—the horses did their business right in the middle of the road.
Do you see how the horseless carriages were whipping in and out of lanes of travel? The problem is that the human body was not meant to travel at those kinds of speeds. It is dangerous!
Now instead of horse poop on the streets, there is human poop.
No, added, as indicated in the vid description.
Thanks!
Sounds interesting. Those who were alive in ‘89 probably had more to say thanks to that refresher. :^)
No, it’s sound effects added by the person who posted the video. The movie industry was still in its infancy in 1906, and talking pictures were still about 20 years in the future.
There were street cleaners doing regular routes back then.
Much of the city being built on fill dirt doesn’t help.
