1906 has never been gezegde

 1906 has never been properly commemorated in any permanent manner, the impulse being to substitute myth for reality and to forget. San Francisco was the city that nearly destroyed itself, and is poised to do so again for most of the same reasons.

 I was married once -- in San Francisco. I haven't seen her for many years. The great earthquake and fire in 1906 destroyed the marriage certificate. There's no legal proof. Which proves that earthquakes aren't all bad.
  W. C. Fields

 [The estimated 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit San Francisco at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 1906. It shook the city in two phases lasting 45 seconds.] City hall… collapsed instantly, ... Facades fell from homes, revealing the furniture within.

 [The estimated 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit San Francisco at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 1906. It shook the city in two phases lasting 45 seconds.] City hall collapsed instantly, ... Facades fell from homes, revealing the furniture within.

 Outside of the Civil War, there had never been an American city devastated like San Francisco was in 1906. You have to go forward 99 years to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans to find a major American city that was nearly wiped out.

 It's not that the ground motions in 1906 were significantly larger than those in 1989—it's that the area experiencing intense shaking was much, much greater. We don't know if the next rupture will look like 1906 earthquake, but we know that many of the same areas hit hard in 1906, like San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and the Santa Cruz mountains will be hit hard again in the next large earthquake on the San Andreas Fault .

 Things could be worse for San Francisco itself with a rupture that begins south of the city, than it was in 1906 when the rupture began very close to it.

 After 1906, San Francisco loses its dominance in the West. Industry fled, and what it became was a poor imitation of itself through tourism. It takes that image of being a gay, giddy city and trades on that image.

 Most people don't realize the magnitude of what happened here in 1906 in San Francisco,

 San Francisco Is Burning: The Untold Story of the 1906 Earthquake and Fires

 For 100 years they claimed that 478 people died [in the 1906 earthquake] in San Francisco.

 Postmodernists believe that truth is myth, and myth, truth. This equation has its roots in pop psychology. The same people also believe that emotions are a form of reality. There used to be another name for this state of mind. It used to be called psychosis.

 There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to ''realize'' myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have ''succeeded,'' this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is ''realizable.'' Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.
  Eugène Ionesco

 Sex can no longer be the germ, the seed of fiction. Sex is an episode, most properly conveyed in an episodic manner, quickly, often ironically. It is a bursting forth of only one of the cells in the body of the omnipotent ''I',' the one who hopes by concentration of tone and voice to utter the sound of reality.

 April 18, 1906 will be one that few people in California will forget.
