I felt the sadness in my soul watching him tell the story of not being able to save his wife 😢
-
Seriously what are the mathematical odds that the same person would be on the Bay Bridge at the exact spot where the bridge dropped off during an earthquake AND then be in the World Trade Center on 9/11 AND surviving both incidents? That’s astounding
-
Watching in 2024. 35 years after the disaster
-
That firefighter that saved that older lady is a Real Hero. We need more people like him in this world.
-
The thought of jumping from your crushed house with a completely shattered leg and having to leave your wife to die.... That's all just so effing horrifying and painful...
-
As a Critical care RN, I wish the nurses would have told Desiree that people can still hear you when they're out and on a vent. Many patients who were comatose complained that I talked their ears off.

I was working in San Francisco when the earthquake hit. All the roads out of the city were closed. The Marina burned. I lived near the epicenter and could not leave San Francisco. I will never forget that day.

They should have interviewed George Santos. He was there. He jumped out of a collapsed and burning school building holding three kids in his arms. He returned to the building and saved dozens more!
-
I felt the sadness from Bill when he talked about his wife and the way he lost her. Jerry, god bless him for saving that older lady
-
Incredible stories! My uncle survived the big one in Mexico City in 1985 and decided he needed to move to safer ground. He moved to San Francisco in 1989.

I was trapped in an elevator in downtown San Jose. I still have trouble going into high rises, elevators, and buildings where I don't see a clear "escape path,"
-
Imagine living thru the earthquake AND 9-11.....unbelievable.
-
This was so very hard to watch, having lived through it, but I appreciate your making and posting this documentary.
-
My dad and other family members were living in SF at the time of this earthquake and I’m so grateful they survived it
-
Just like in 1989, the media covered wealthy Marina yet over 3000 homes in poorer Oakland were destroyed but largely ignored in coverage.

I was really upset at my dad and mean to him before he died suddenly. So. I feel for this girl who lost her dad. Took some therapy but I eventually forgave him and myself. But you never forget, and you carry it with you forever.

It was our daughter’s 3rd birthday. We were in San Martin. She is 37 and will never forget the sound

To the Daughter of Buck…..As a Dad with a daughter there was and never will be anything that you say to your Dad that would ever change his love for you!!! We were all kids once and Dads remember and are also the most understanding when your kid is just being a kid. You were mad because you wanted to spend time with him. That cancels out everything else. He never even gave it another thought.

It was unlike any earthquake we were used to. It shook and swayed and lasted so long. It was terrifying.

I will never forget that day. I was really sick from a ear infection. I was getting ready for the battle of the bay game. I was in the kitchen when it hit and I thought "man I'm sicker than I thought " when I saw people on TV running and the water in my 25 gallon fish tank sloshing out. I started screaming for my children to get away from the shelves and tv
