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...
Así conducía Ayrton Senna en el G.P. de Mónaco 1990.
Su McLaren MP4/5B tenía una caja manual de 6 velocidades en forma de HA en lugar de las levas detrás del volante de los coches actuales.
Cambiaba de marcha unas 3,600 veces por carrera a más de 250 km/h por calles estrechas con una sola mano.
El auto no contaba con dirección asistida ni suspensión activa. Toda la tracción y corrección en los saltos de Montecarlo dependían puramente de su sensibilidad y fuerza muscular.
Era otra época para la F1.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” - Mark Twain
"The PGA of America is supposed to go back to Bethpage in 2033 with the PGA Championship. That should not happen. These people do not deserve a major championship."
"Maybe golf in its entirety needs to take the Augusta National model. No phones, no tolerance, no second chance."
Agree with @eamonlynch?

Kiley lives with a rare genetic condition called Williams Syndrome, and making friends is not always easy for her. So when two friends she met at camp drove 3 hours to surprise her on her 15th birthday, it turned into a truly heart touching moment ❤️
