VIDEO: It was 5:04 p.m. on October 17, 1989, when a powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake shook the soft soil of San Francisco’s Marina District, crumpling the neighborhood’s old wooden buildings like paper, and sending a cascade of splintered wood and glass into the streets.

Neighbors who were there at the time recall that something else went flying into the air in those moments: natural gas.
