...Golden Gate Bridge, the shimmering surface of the Pacific Ocean. Just out there--she points--a couple of miles offshore, lies the place where, early in the morning of April 18, 1906, the earth's crust cracked like an eggshell, unleashing what--even in the aftermath of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina--stands as one of the greatest disasters in U.S. history...
