On October 17, 1989, at 5:04 pm, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit California. It was the second most popular thing that day, the first being the world series game it interrupted.

A segment of the San Andreas fault ruptured under the Santa Cruz mountains, sending a shock wave through the earth.
The earthquake headed straight for Santa Cruz, a populated Californian city.

Santa Cruz was just 10 miles away from the epicenter. They were the first to feel the powerful shock wave.
The wave devastated towns  like Watsonville and rolled straight towards a very populated city, Oakland

In Oakland, the interstate 880 crashed down on cars below. Tons upon tons of concrete fell on top of people driving cars. Some of these people died. Some were saved by rescue workers. This was obviously very destructive, but it wasn't the most destructive thing the earthquake had to offer.

This was the place where the most destruction happened. According to National Geographic, the mud and sand that was put there was not compacted enough. The shock waves "roiled the into slush, through a process called liquid faction. Amplification exaggerated the waves at the surface, increasing the shaking."
Houses and buildings toppled straight into the slush, standing no chance against the shock waves.

After this, 63 people lay dead, and 3,800 were injured. 28,000 buildings were damaged, but Candlestick park, in the middle of a world series game, was not damaged. And so they played on.
