American Experience "The Great San Francisco Earthquake"
In April 1906, San Francisco was destroyed by earthquake and fire. Thousands were killed, and tens of thousands were left homeless. But three years later the city had been rebuilt from the ashes. This film looks at the destruction and rebirth of San Francisco, and how it became a part of American folklore.
