Welcome to another edition of 'This Day in History,' where we explore the significant events that have shaped our world. October 17th has seen its fair share of pivotal moments throughout history. One of the most notable events in recent history took place on October 17, 1989, when the Loma Prieta earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area in California. Measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale, this earthquake caused significant destruction and loss of life. It resulted in 63 fatalities, over 3,700 injuries, and extensive damage to infrastructure, including the collapse of the Cypress Street Viaduct on the Nimitz Freeway. The earthquake also disrupted the 1989 World Series, which was being held in San Francisco at the time.
