At 5:15 a.m. on April 18, 1906, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the moment magnitude scale struck San Francisco, California. The earthquake ruptured many main water and gas lines; as a result, leaking gas caused a rapid spread of fires throughout the city and there were limited water sources to fight them. Firefighters from multiple cities used dynamite to blow up strategic buildings to help stop the fires from spreading. In the end, over 3,000 people died and 80% of the city was destroyed, marking one of the deadliest natural disasters in United States history. As you read, note the language and tone used to describe the event in the two different newspaper articles.
City Was Tossed Like a Feather as Shock Came.
Great Buildings Rose into the Air, Then Collapsed.
Earth Seemed to Sink.
Walls Rocked and Wobbled Like Frail Things in a Storm.
