When I saw the thread title, I thought it was a new C5 reality series.

Here is a remix of the St Patricks Day Earthquake (s) across LA. The clip features all the LA stations live reactions.

Erm, not sure whether a fairly light quake qualifies for a lot of attention. I woke up but went back to bed...

A nice compilation that, I remember seeing some of those on the day it happened.

It's great that two of the stations have a seismograph sitting there ready to be cut to air just for such an event. KTLA's wobbly roof camera worked particularly well

ABC's World Series Baseball coverage is interrupted by the San Francisco Earthquake of 1989, coverage from KGO TV.

Classic clip, that. There's a documentary that ESPN made as part of their 30 for 30 series that shows a few more off-air clips that aren't in the ones that circulate more widely, as well as some footage recorded on the day by the ABC Sports cameras that were never sent to air of the scenes inside the stadium.

Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QxJ8VuIlgk

Very very good documentary.
