About Why Has San Francisco Had Multiple Deadly Earthquakes?

Witness the sheer destructive power of the 1906 and 1989 San Francisco earthquakes—where an estimated 7.9 magnitude quake leveled 25,000 buildings, and an 83-year follow-up turned a World Series afternoon into a nightmare of collapsed freeways and frantic rescues.
