San Simeon Earthquake 2003

Paso Robles. Two women were killed when this old, historic and (unreenforced) building fell down during the earthquake; Marilyn Frost-Zafuto, 51, and Jennifer Myrick, 20, both employees of Ann’s dress shop, were crushed as they tried to escape.

Yahoo maps is wrong as usual–this was taken in Paso Robles, not Capital Hill (I don’t even know where that is).

There's a moral to this: NEVER run out of a building during a quake, pieces of the building may fall on your head as you run out.
