Another day ...
An earthquake killed 67 people and injured more than 3000 in the San Francisco Bay area this day in 1989. More lives would have been lost had not 60,000 baseball fans been packed into Candlestick Park, which is designed to be earthquake-proof. The game was postponed until the Earth stopped moving.
