San Francisco Historians Condemn 1906 Earthquake Deniers
SAN FRANCISCO—In an event that sparked outrage across the historical community, deniers of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake convened last weekend to share their controversial theories about what actually occurred on that tragic day more than a century ago.

The 1906 Earthquake Deniers, a group reviled by Californians and scholars alike, held three days of lectures and roundtable discussions over what they call a "century-long hoax" of exaggerated seismic activity in the Bay area, and part of a conspiracy to bring the World's Fair to San Francisco in 1915. Historians protested the conference, saying the organization's statements denying any major seismic activity in 1906 are reprehensible and out of line with all available geologic data from the time.

"On Apr. 18, 1906, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale killed 3,000 San Franciscans and devastated a growing metropolis," Professor Richard Kasper of the University of California, Berkeley, told reporters Tuesday. "It was a massive, massive earthquake. To say otherwise is to callously ignore not only the suffering of the disaster's victims, but also a mountain of photographs, video footage, and eyewitness reports."

Added Kasper: "And I find it personally offensive to suggest that a single malfunctioning trolley car could have wiped out 490 city blocks."

Pamphlets distributed during the symposium, which brought together some of the world's most notorious 1906 Earthquake Deniers, raised numerous questions about the so-called "myth" of the 296-mile-long rupture in the San Andreas Fault felt from Oregon to Los Angeles.

"If an earthquake of that size really did strike downtown San Francisco, then where is all the rubble?" read one pamphlet, entitled "After$hock$: Truth, Lies, And The Business Of Earthquakes," obtained by reporters. "Where are these alleged 3,000 dead? And why does the mayor refuse to answer questions about the fires that mysteriously started moments after the supposed 'earthquake' occurred? Ask yourself: Who is he protecting?"

Think of all significant events in history.

I deny that they even happened! Conspiracy theories, the lot of them.

I have always wondered, was it an earthquake? Or was it an avoidable "accident" that was covered up by the government, like so many other "events". I'm sure so many people will say, "Oh the government didn't have the tech in 1906 to do something like that." And you can't convince them otherwise. At this point, it's laughable to consider any explanation other than a cover-up.

San Fransisco is currently the World HQ for the Chinese Mafia.

It has been their invasion point for infiltrating the West for 100+ years.

Interesting that they claim it was fake news used to expand and improve Chinatown.

That was immediately felt by me while reading this bizarro story.

Yes it sounded outlandish, but the shrill reactions seemed over the top.

Why should these scientists and whomever give a crap about this group?! It is beyond ludicrous.

Truly. If these so called deniers are lunatics, WHY BOTHER TO EVEN DIGNIFY THEIR THEORIES WITH THESE REBUTTALS.

That makes the whole thing seem totally suspect.

And I had never heard about this till tonight on GLP.

"On Apr. 18, 1906, an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale killed 3,000 San Franciscans and devastated a growing metropolis,"

The entire landscape/grid of the city was already there before those "San Franciscans" moved there.

There are some rare photos of this grid after the alleged Earthquake and it is huge. Also looks like it was hit with DEWs or fire and brimstone. Hardly any rubble.

There is one old black and white video that shows the ground shaking and a stone wall collapsing. Could be orchestrated.

I'm the 1890s many powerful leaders and Shamans performed Ghost Dances. This may have come into play 10 years later.

California was littered in gold.to this day land is appraised due to its minable gold in northern california and oregon.
The economy in california was gold until oil was discovered.those two combined is what gave hollywood its leverage to succeed.
Building codes were a joke in the late 1800s and thus by 1906,99% of the buildings were makeshift shanties with oil lamps.
Even a minor quake would set thst place on fire.

California is known for idiots of the highest form.no state can compare in idiocracy.i take their opinions as nuts.

As for the chinese,they havent been a population issue of seriousness until the chinese economy exploded and financed migration to usa.

Interesting thread revival!

Quoting [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)]

Some of the fires were started when San Francisco Fire Department firefighters, untrained in the use of dynamite, attempted to demolish buildings to create firebreaks.

Some property owners deliberately set fire to damaged properties to claim them on their insurance.


Also noteworthy is the unfortunate death of the fire chief Sullivan who was exhausted due to a large fire the night before the earthquake and died due to injuries during the quake by a two story fall and subsequent boiling by steam, the only person in town apparently who knew how to use dynamite for fire suppression: [link to www.sfgate.com (secure)]

My grandfather was a young boy when the quake hit, the house was leveled and burned as were countless in the city.

He was so traumatized he and his brother were sent to live on the large family ranch, a Spanish land grant , with my great grandparents in Santa Ynez for several years until the situation was more livable.

It was often discussed in my youth.

This earthquake was real and catastrophic.

The earthquake definitely happened, but the fire damage especially to the brick buildings appears unusual with many bricks warped and liquified:


The video doesn't show bricks in San Francisco, but photos of those can be found when searching for "melted bricks in San Francisco".

I don't doubt that some sort of shaking/trembling took place but I would bet my life that it wasn't caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Same goes for the bullshit fire stories, no way primitive materials could have generated that much heat heat causing absolute and widespread destruction like that. Also the size of the grid is the biggest giveaway. Those primitives would have taken at least 100 years to landscape the city like that. It also would have populated millions of people so 3000 deaths doesn't add up unless they moved in with a small population.
