World Series Stopped By Loma Prieta Earthquake | Flashback | NBC News
The Bay Area World Series saved probably hundreds of lives... everyone at home getting ready to watch it and 60,000 plus inside the stadium cleared up the roads...
I was 10 when it happened. I will never forget standing in the middle of the street and seeing it heave up and down, exactly like waves on the ocean.
Omg same! I vividly remember the ground!!
@@megancarroll I was 6. Living in Novato at the time. We felt it. Safeway caved in.
This is my earliest memory. I was 3, eating dinner in the living room watching Sesame Street while my mum cooked for my then infant brother. My mum just moved from England 4 years prior. My dad worked in the city in the evenings as a server at a 5 star restaurant in Nob Hill. He was ALWAYS on time, but he was running late for some reason that evening. If he was on time, he likely would have met his fate on the bridge, but it was not his time to go, clearly. There were no cell phones. I simply remember my mum grabbing me with my brother on her hip and took us outside. Out neighbours were all there for support (we were in Hercules, CA in the east bay). They helped us shut off the electricity and energy. They let us stay with them while we watched what news we could, praying that Dad was okay. He was stuck on the bridge for nearly 8 hours and missed work, but nobody was dining that night anyway. I remember when he came home that night. Everything was okay. Angels we’re assisting.
I was 24 at the time, living in Nevada City, California (about 3 hours east on Hwy. 80) watching the Bay Area World Series with my dad on KCRA (Sacramento NBC) when the Loma Prieta quake happened. Although I didn't feel it, my sister in Grass Valley (the town next to us) did. Nearly 40 years and I remember it like yesterday!
Yep, that was so scary
Like her or not, the real hero of that story is Dianne Feinstein, who authorized a huge earthquake retrofit to Candlestick Park not too long before that quake. 50,000 people were just having a nervous laugh, instead of triaging survivors. Don't get me started on that freeway, I used to drive it and saw the crappy rusted rebar sticking out of the cracked concrete and wondered when It would happen.
Probably wasn't even her idea.
Yup, they built that cypress structure on the Oakland mudflats in the 1950’s. My grandfather always said as we would drive on it “they didn’t use the correct grade rebar on it, and someday it will collapse”
I was in my apt on 43rd and Sunset. Won't ever forget.
@@southphillyexplorer It's very rare for politicians to have any ideas on their own(and I don't even say that in a mean way).
The ideas come from experts, people closer to the problems or through polling, etc. The ideas are then given to the politician and they push for it.
A politician's job is to represent their people's wants/needs, not to make up stuff on their own.
@@spriken is that so?
We have major league baseball game that saved a lot of lives, no other teams or events can claim that.
Thank god for the world series.
The earthquake was staged by Tesla technology. Nikola Tesla died 184 before his birthday in the "New Yorker Hotel." Count the alphabet backwards and "New Yorker Hotel" equals 184. The 1906 San Francisco Earthquake blatantly attributed to Tesla technology in a few fictional novels happened on a date 18/4 or April 4. The Tunguska Event, which is suspected to have been caused by Tesla technology, happened on a day leaving 184 days in the year. There's a span of 184 days between the Loma Prieta quake and the 84th anniversary in 1990 of the 1906 quake. Jose Canseco, who is seen running in the field here when the quake cuts transmission, was born on the 184th day of a leap year, 1964. The 1906 quake took place on the 108th day of the year. Canseco was in his 108th day of his age when the Loma Prieta quake happened. Or you could say 107 days after his birthday. "Earthquake" equals 107 in alphabetic order when the letters are added as numbers and "baseball" equals 54, like the 5:04 earthquake time. These are not coincidences. This is what the people who rule this world do.
@@mentallyilldarkjeroid5378 ..and you were born with just 184 brain cells but since then you've lost a few and now you somehow survive on just 107.
@@mentallyilldarkjeroid5378 Oh, please. "Technology" never caused any earthquake. God will, however (Matthew 24:7, KJV).
@@mentallyilldarkjeroid5378 Just prooves if you look hard enough and squint your eyes just right, you can find some numbers to 'give apparent backing' to support just about any belief you want to create.
I will never forget this day. I was with my grandma in the Sunset on 46th and Santiago. My mom was in Oakland at her friend’s house and we had no phone or power
6 billion in 1989 dollars is 30 billion in 2022 dollars
I was in 8th grade at the time and my class just got back to Santa Cruz from a field trip to the aquarium we were very lucky.
Which aquarium?
@@set65 montrey bay aquarium oct 17 ,1989 mission hill middle school.
Watched it on television. I will always remember Al Michaels saying that they'd just had a quake.
My mother was 15 when this happened she was playing outside with her brother because her dad who loved the giants wanted them to go outside so he could watch it then just a couple minutes after my mom and my uncle went outside the earthquake happened all the TVs were going crazy and my mom could see the basketball court she was playing on shake really hard and she ran inside with my uncle and screamed to her dad that there was an earthquake
I was 16 years old and I was at my grandma’s house on 46th and Taraval just coming home from Safeway. My grandma was really scared and this earthquake actually was one of the reasons she moved to Seattle.
@@lankytor6396 They still get big earthquakes in seattle. It's part of the same fault system. Plus, Mt. Rainier could explode at any moment.
@@hlalakar4156 yes!! Definitely! 😉
@@hlalakar4156 I remember my grandma moved up to Lakewood near Seattle and Mt Rainer erupted , it was before my grandma moved there I believe 1994? God bless it was so sad for those who lost their lives and homes. My grandma tried to move away from earthquakes but Tacoma Seattle, earthquake 😳 stay safe!💕
I had just moved to Sacramento from Illinois, and I was still at work (Arden Arcade area), and I heard someone in the office yell out "earthquake! it's an earthquake!" I then felt a sensation like I'd just gotten off of a roller coaster!
I remember this,so sad😢
What happened in Puerto Rico days ago reminds me of what happened 30 years ago
God was watching over me before 2 major quakes in California. The Loma Prieta and the Northridge. I commuted over the Bay Bridge and I was in L.A. on business before the Loma Prieta. So I consider myself extremely lucky having multiple angels on both shoulders.
So....I guess God turned his head and totally ignored those in the large number of cars which were thoroughly pancaked on the underside of the collapsed freeway? He must have been taking a nap!
Amazing how one sporting event - World Series in this case - may have saved a lot of lives with people either being at the stadium already or had already left work early as the video said to watch the game. It would’ve been more disastrous and devastating if people had been where they normally were (work, traffic, etc).
Oh well, devastating earthquakes cause arguments 40 years later
Back when newscasters like Tom Brokaw just read the news and didn't add to it.
Times were simple during those times
Wow a young Jose Conseco
correct name: José Canseco (saved my cat)
@@SnabbKassa Thank you. Now are you just going to leave us hanging with the cat story?
The thing was that they couldn't even switch stadiums and play there, Because both stadiums were affected by the earthquake
WOW, you mean they couldn't even switch stadiums and play there, Because both stadiums were affected by the earthquake. Thats MINDBLOWING!
@@johnc3403 Well, the two stadiums were only 10 miles apart and the earthquake violently shook an area well over 200 miles in diameter.
Anyone here for LUAO?
lol yes
EARTHQUAKE BEFORE GTA 6
2:57 surely he- Be the of haf- ang- ang- wait we have a earth-
People who know Async was the cause of this earth quake
👇
This is the reason why I left San Francisco.
I’m too afraid of visiting San Francisco, California after hearing about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake
@@lisamcdonald1014 Visiting is fine.
They could use another one about now
OMG, Bob Costas is doing his job instead of hawking leftist politics!
Tuesday, October 17th, 1989 @ 5:04:15 pm, a strong motion earthquake emanated from a location 60 miles south-east of San Francisco near Loma Prieta, in the Santa Cruz mountain ranges
