舊金山大地震

您能想像一大早被強震搖醒的感覺嗎?想像自己一大清早被搖動的地面叫醒,甚至被搖下床,滾到房間的另一端!當然,前提是您夠幸運,能繼續存活在這世上1906418日的清晨5:12,舊金山遇上了高達8.3級的強烈地震,整座城市幾近摧毀。在地震發生前,舊金山早就是一座興盛的城市,內有許多緊連的木造房舍及由未強化磚牆所堆砌而成的建築物。地震開始的那一剎那,房屋倒塌、自來水管破裂,再加上一場快速蔓延至全城的大火。在這部影片中,您可以看見人們是如何修復地震及大火所造成的傷害。


Imagine being awakened early in the morning by the ground shaking so hard that you're thrown out of bed and across the room--if you're even lucky enough to be alive. On April 18, 1906, at 5:12 a.m., an earthquake of 8.3 magnitude hit San Francisco, devastating much of the city. By this time, San Francisco was already a booming city with many closely spaced wooden homes and unreinforced brick buildings. The moment the earthquake started, buildings collapsed, water mains broke, and a huge fire broke out that spread rapidly across the city. In this film, you can see how the city looked after the earthquake and fire.
