                                                        Picture
                                                        Just  hit the video link below and turn up your  speakers. 

                                                        At the very end of the video you'll  hear the song ' Thunder Road ' sung by the star of  the movie for which it was the theme! 

                                                        Not  uncommon except this is the one and only song ever  recorded, for publication, sung by Robert Mitchum!

                                                        San Francisco... (Just before the earthquake)

                                                        Think about it, in this video, taken approximately 5 days before the 8.2 Richter-Scale earthquake of  April 18, 1906 -- people are walking down the street... driving their cars... visiting... talking... not even vaguely awared that only 5 days hence - the city will be devastated.

                                                        The greatest destruction came from the fires the quake ignited. These ravaged the city for three days before burning themselves out.The earthquake destroyed 490 city blocks, a total of 25,000 buildings, made over 250,000 homeless and killed between 450 and 700. Damage estimates topped $350,000,000.
