Great historical film worth watching.

quoted remarks about this film ...

"This film was "lost" for many years.  It was the first 35mm film ever.  It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car.  It was filmed only four days before the quake and shipped by train to NY for processing. Amazing but true!"

The amount of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there. (I'm also wondering ... how many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!).  This film originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn, with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum, figured out exactly when it was shot.  From New York trade papers announcing the film showing to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!).

PS - If you click on one of the other pictures at the bottom of the video, you will see a modern video of San Francisco

I was watching some old movies the other nite and it got me thinking about how much things have changed since then.  Being in Real Estate, I went looking for how housing has changed and found these videos for comparision. What was looked at in wonder back in the Fiftys is normal now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoCC...O3GKqWY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVMAeSNZZz0 - I wonder what they will think about the Home of the Future fifty years from now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODpReoKQVXM

Living through all this possible disaster, really.  According to the company website www.terravivos.com you need to think about the movie 2012.

 

"The central theme to all end-of-the-world scenarios is to find shelter underground. The soil of the Earth itself can provide the best shelter for most catastrophes including a pole shift, super volcano eruptions, solar flares, earthquakes, tsunamis, and asteroids, as well as potential for many more manmade devastations such as nuclear bombs, bio terrorism, chemical warfare, and even the return of Planet X (known as Niburu or Nemisis) and the solar disturbances it will cause."

"The Vivos complexes will be deep underground, airtight, fully self-contained shelters designed to survive virtually any catastrophe, or threat scenario including natural disasters, a nuclear blast, chemical and biological weapons, or even social anarchy. Each self-contained shelter complex will comfortably accommodate a community of 172 - 200 people, in spacious quarters, for up to 1 year of autonomous survival to ride out the potential events.  Every detail has been considered and planned for.  Members need to only arrive before the facility is sealed and secured."

Current co-ownership price per equity interest in a Vivos shelter is: $50,000 per adult | $25,000 per child | Pets are FREE"

I'm thinking that some of the movies might not reflect real life and maybe $50,000 can go towards the downpayment on a new house... let the Nicolson Team know.


Never underestimate a farmer's ingenuity.... Way too simple for the government and so-called experts who will probably continue to spend millions $$$ and more for a panel of engineers to "study the problem", then most likely won't find the simple solution these good ole 'southern boys came up with…
