Item # 705934

October 18, 1989

SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE--EXTRA, EXTRA, EXTRA, Oct. 18, 1989  This was one of the earliest editions on the street after the earthquake.
The banner headline proclaims: "HUNDREDS DEAD IN HUGE QUAKE" with several subheads, plus a large photo of a collapsed apartment building. The first 8 of the 16 pages are exclusively reports concerning the earthquake with a wealth of photos, including two from the World Series game which was in progress at the time.
Sixteen pages, very nice condition. Great to have from the city where the earthquake happened.
