Take a trip back in time. This 11-minute reel of film, shot from a cable car on Market Street, captures a city full of life and promise, which was destroyed only days later in the great earthquake of 1906.

Its good to hear that you sent the video to your friends in the Bay Area. I'm pretty sure you will get back many replies telling you "Thank You" for making sure that they got a chance to see such a fantastic video of the good old days.
The October 17th, 1989 Loma Prieta M6.9 earthquake must have been pretty scary for you and your friends back then, it really shook up San Francisco and the Worlds Series ball game that was being televised at that time.
