Join us as ABC7 remembers the Centennial of the Great Quake of 1906: A City Remembers tonight from 8 - 9 p.m.
Hosted by: Dan Ashley
Contributing reports by: Kristen Sze
About the show:
ABC7 News Anchor Dan Ashley hosts an hour special on the 1906 earthquake that forever changed San Francisco.Just as dawn was breaking on the morning of April 18, 1906 the earth rumbled in what became the most devastating earthquake to ever strike the City by the Bay. One hundred years later, we still live with the fear of knowing our fault lines can rupture at any moment.
What have we learned since 1906? How would San Francisco and the Bay Area survive another disaster of that magnitude? In this special ABC7 program, resilient and courageous survivors will share their vivid stories of that fateful morning and the destructive aftermath that followed. From little children grasping onto their parents as they run for survival to cold nights sleeping in Golden Gate Park, their memories are haunting. Historians will share the many artifacts and documents that have helped us figure out how the City began to rebuild.
New research maps out how the 1906 earthquake impacted women and minorities and the complaints of inequities that followed during the disaster relief. We'll not only take a look back but also a look forward as we explore just how prepared the Bay Area is for another earthquake and which areas will be the most susceptible to catastrophic damage.
