The
Ride
This
is really what you've been waiting for. You'll climb aboard
a San Francisco Rapid Transit subway train. You'll leave
from Oakland and arrive in Embarcadero station in San Francisco
Bay. As the train comes to a complete stop, a disturbing
rumble is felt. The P.A. system will inform you that you
have just experienced a mild tremor. But the rumbling starts
again, louder and louder. That's when things really start
to fall apart. The Richter scale meter is jumping! The ground
beneath you rattles your train back and forth. Sparks are
everywhere along the station. Remember, you're underground.
That's when you'll see the street above you open up to reveil
a propane tanker truck sliding right for your train. As
it crashes on the steal beam between you and the truck,
it bursts into flames. It doesn't appear that you were the
only subway train catch in the devastation. A second train
from the opposite side jumps the tracks and head straight
for you. Remember, we said San Francisco Bay...and ALL OF
IT comes careening down the stairs on the opposite side.
When the water recedes you'll have just experienced 8.3
of the Richter scale.
