The Loma Prieta Earthquake, occurring just before the 1989 World Series, was less deadly partly because many left work early to watch the game.
The majority of deaths in the Loma Prieta Earthquake were due to the collapse of the Cypress Freeway viaduct, which killed 42 out of 63 victims.
An eyewitness described the moments during the earthquake, noting he was trapped but miraculously survived due to being located between two structural cross members.
The MyShake app commemorates the anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake by sending alerts, illustrating advancements in earthquake preparedness technology.
