This is real footage from 120 years ago.
None of the people in it knew that the city around them had four days left...
What you are watching is a cable car gliding down Market Street in San Francisco, filmed on the 14th of April, 1906.
The camera was mounted on the front of the car, so you see the city exactly as it was: the crowds, the horse-drawn carriages, the early automobiles weaving through traffic, the men in hats, the great buildings rising on either side. An ordinary spring afternoon in a thriving American city.
Four days later, on the morning of the 18th of April, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake struck. The shaking lasted under a minute, but it ignited fires that burned through the city for days...
By the time it was over, more than 3,000 people were dead and roughly 80 percent of San Francisco had been destroyed. Almost every building you see in this footage was gone.
And the film itself nearly went with it.
The negative was placed on a train bound for New York on the 17th of April, the day before the earthquake. Had it left a single day later, it would have burned in the fire along with the studio that made it.
This entire moving record of a lost city survives because of one day...
Trump corruptly made more in the first year of his presidency than he's made in his entire life. All the while, everyday Americans can't afford health care and the price of groceries and gas keep going up.
Corruption always comes at a cost. https://t.co/boUtJnGakc

As summer begins to settle in, June's glowing strawberry moon is set to light up the night sky as the season's first full moon. https://t.co/JpjXuNpabA
Tonight, June 29, the Strawberry Moon rises as the lowest-hanging full moon in nearly 20 years for Northern Hemisphere viewers.
It will not be matched until 2043.
June full moons follow a low path because they sit opposite the high summer sun near the solstice. This year the effect is stronger due to the low point in the 18.6-year lunar cycle. The moon rises far southeast, traces a shallow arc low in the southern sky, and sets far southwest.
Its low position near the horizon creates the moon illusion, making it appear larger and more dramatic. It may also look orange, red, or golden because its light passes through more atmosphere, scattering blue light and leaving warmer colors. The "Strawberry" name comes from the harvest season, not the color.
The best view is around local moonrise.
