Some wild footage of a car whose driver blundered, or was misdirected onto the earthquake damaged bridge...

I was in the earthquake and watched it that night on the news.

Here's part of the news story:

The 7.1-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake, which was centered south of San Francisco, collapsed a portion of the upper deck of the eastern span of the Bay Bridge on Oct. 17, 1989. One woman was killed in that collapse.

And more:

CHP report said the woman killed when she drove into the gap left by a fallen section of the Bay Bridge during the earthquake was to blame for her own death. The attorney for Anamafi Kalausa Moala called the report a "whitewash" of the CHP's and Caltrans' bungling of the huge traffic jam on the bridge and resulting confusion after sections of deck collapsed.

I remember this on TV in L.A. too.

There were two minor quakes in So. CA last night. My friends and I felt them:
