The Marina District of San Francisco was hit hard by the Loma Prieta earthquake, which struck 25 years ago on Oct. 17, 1989. Because the district was built on a landfill mixture of sand and rubble and not bedrock, liquefaction caused more damage than the quake might have otherwise. Four people died in the Marina District, including an infant, while four buildings collapsed and another seven were consumed by fire caused by a sheared natural gas line.
