    I am going say it now and now only here we go.I am a christian
    and…christians say this all the time when people ask what is the
    RAPTURE… the rapture is an event when the trees animals and plants in
    fact everything he made bow’s down to JESUS and JESUS only the ground will
    open up and the gates of hell open and all the demons even the devil will
    go and say DO NOT BOW DOWN DO NOT YOU R MINE AND MINE ONLY!!!!! but you
    have to NO I AM NOT I AM JESUS’S CHILD HIS CHILD JESUS ONLY
    JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……And then you will go to heaven you will go in the
    air and up and up and up until you see big and tall golden gates they open
    you are walking you come across the KING OF KINGS LOARD OF LOARDS. Then he
    checks in the Book of Life if your name is on there you will be in heaven.
    If your name is not in there you go to hell or stay on earth where the
    devil will live not in hell where there is a lake of lave and lake of fire.
    No he lives on earth where the cement is at and dead plants. Thanks for
    reading this i appreciate it you will see for your self when that day
    comes.?

    It’s still incredible to me that San Francisco built double deck highways
    and bridges in one of the world’s worst earthquake zones. Stupid!?

  6. Ben Schaeffer says:

    Almost aspacelot, it was a 6.9 in 89, actually. Almost a 7.0 or 7.1 though.

  10. Kammerz10 says:

    They say California is going to have a MAJOR earthquake within the next 100
    years, (well that was a couple years ago), seismologists say it will be
    possibly as bad as the one in 1906, 1989, it’s right on theSan Andreas
    fault.

  11. MarcInThe Darc says:

    @liberalinthedesertaz im sorry?

  12. Matt Pete says:

    That is scary, but the Cypress Street Freeway collapse was even scarier!

  13. PaijePeace says:

    with them and they are building a new one…but its like behind date.

  16. clevelandsmith65 says:

    @speedy9738 no shit dur

  17. Yahiko25 says:

    I cannot believe this took place 22 years ago. I still remember this
    earthquake.

  18. KamikazeZombie says:

    This video triggered my Gephyrophobia when I first saw it. At least I’m
    over it now.

  19. TheCharlestradewind says:

    I remember being in that earth quake. I pooped my pants.

  20. je14100 says:

    But I wonder when the next big earthquake like this will hit San
    Francisco…

  21. Yahiko25 says:

    The San Francisco 89 Earthquake is real. You got to be a real idiot to
    think this is a fake. That means you are an idiot.

  22. TheIxtlan says:

    San Francisco will not able to withstand a 7.9 or 8.1 earthquake. If there
    7.4 or 7.5 hit San Francisco, there will be considerable damage on bridges
    and freeway and tall buildings.

  23. Catergory5Hurricane says:

    Refresh my memory: I don’t live in California, but was this the Loma-Prieta
    earthquake, or the Northridge earthquake?

  24. Justin Huffman says:

    it was 7.1 btw

    MY anus tastes like peach cobbler?

  29. gabriela gualco says:

    Me: hello
    911: 911 what is your emergency
    Me: There is a bridge collapseing in mianus
    911: *hungs up*?

  30. t4705mb6 says:

    “Authorities” paid no attention to the information about the bridge that
    was supplied to them far in advance by residents. Instead the “leaders”
    waited for catastrophic structural failure and needless deaths. Today, that
    sort of negligence and incompetence is rewarded with perks, a salary boost,
    bonuses and promotion.
