Anonymous Coward User ID: 57721140 United States 03/19/2024 01:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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. ‘I read it on the G L P.’ (To the tune of I read it in the Rolling Stone) |

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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54149806 United States 03/19/2024 02:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

User ID: 77750652 United States 03/19/2024 02:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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)] |

It was often discussed in my youth. This earthquake was real and catastrophic. |

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. |
