admit it - this would have freaked you the fuck out had you seen this live.

I was living in SF at the time, and I'd just turned on the game when the quake happened.

THAT was a crazy day, let me tell you.

Brooklyn on 9/11 topped it, FWIW.

Not included here are the pictures of the fucking gargantuan cracks in the concrete superstructure of Candlestick caused by this minor rumble. A great and terrible stadium.

Wow. 1989.

All those people are dead now.

From old age. Not the quake. Although some are.

Also, dead horse.

I watched this live.

Just like the Challenger Explosion and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I AM A RELIC. BEHOLD MY FATE.

Not really footage of the quake, but of a lovely place holder in lieu of the stadium feed.

I've noticed that California players are used to quakes, and laugh when a temblor sends opposing players fleeing for their lives.
