San Francisco marks major quake
BBC NEWS
"Sirens were sounded across the city at 0512, the time the 1906 quake struck, as people, including several survivors, gathered to observe a minute's silence.
On 18 April 1906 a quake of about 7.8 magnitude shook the San Andreas fault for just under a minute.
About 3,000 people died, most of them in fires that spread quickly through the ruins."
