THE MOST DEVASTATING EARTHQUAKE EVER TO HIT SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...
4:31 .JANUARY 17, 1994
On a previously unknown fault line in the San Fernando Valley, an earthquake originally pegged at magnitude 6.6, rumbled violently from a 70-mile fracture in the earth's crust. Millions of Southern Californians were jolted from their sleep.
THE EARTHQUAKE LASTED ONLY SECONDS
In seconds, monumental freeway overpasses toppled like building blocks. 57 people died. Thousands were injured. Apartment buildings and homes collapsed. 20,000 residents were left homeless.
THE AFTERMATH
The impact will be felt long after the shaking stops as Los Angeles rebuilds ravaged freeways, copes with strong aftershocks, recovers from property damage which will total in the billions of dollars, and prepares for the future.

The earthquake had a "strong" moment magnitude of 6.7, but the ground acceleration was one of the highest ever instrumentally recorded in an urban area in North America. Seventy-two deaths were attributed to the earthquake, with over 9,000 injured.
