A short but but effective 30 for 30 entry that looks back at the 1989 Bay Area earthquake. Though some of the focus is indeed on the World Series game that was interrupted - many of the stories area about people who weren't even at the game. These are the stories that are the most powerful from a firefighter who pulled off a miraculous survival to the pilot of the Goodyear Blimp who delivered a bird's eye view of the coverage to a photojournalist who should have been covering the game but instead documented the aftermath. Powerful stuff and worth a watch.
