Loma Prieta

Kemper's roommate was not at home, so he took the bodies into the apartment where he photographed and had sexual intercourse with the naked corpses before dismembering them.

He then put the body parts into plastic bags, which he later abandoned near Loma Prieta Mountain.

Before disposing of Pesci and Lucchese's severed heads in a ravine, Kemper engaged in irematio with both of them.

In August of that year, Pesci's skull was found on Loma Prieta Mountain.

An extensive search failed to turn up the rest of Pesci's remains or a trace of Lucchese.

On the evening of September 14, 1972, Kemper picked up 15-year-old dance student named Eiko Kuu.

The best infrastructure America can buy.

My favorite example of that kind of American lack of, of daring do was after the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989.

And like, uh, you know, the, all the, all those highways buckled in Oakland, part of the bay bridge collapsed and the Embarcadero freeway, uh, along the Northern coast of San Francisco, along the bay, it collapsed.

Right.

I said, no, a bunch of times.

But then the earthquake hit in 1989, the Loma Prieta earthquake.

And our office is in Scotts Valley, which is just north of Santa Cruz.

And we were a couple of miles from the epicenter.

yes yeah yeah i moved there in 87 and lived there for quite a while and of course i live in a suburb so i'm not so far away but uh

Oh yeah, from the Loma Prieta quake, the freeways coming down.

Oh

yeah, I was there.

I'm trained both in geoscience engineering and urban planning, but was very interested in working on land use in hazardous areas, hazard-prone areas, particularly geologically hazardous areas like faults and landslides and things like that when I started my career.

And I happened to start right before the Loma Prieta earthquake hit in the San Francisco Bay Area where I was working.

And many of the communities with the small consulting firm I was working with were impacted by the earthquake.

Very quickly got into disaster recovery and a lot of challenges that you have in dealing with lands that have been damaged up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, areas that had experienced liquefaction or strong ground shaking where decisions about rebuilding required some investigations and possibly changes in land use as the rebuilding process took place.

Liquefaction, which happens when loosely packed water-logged sediments lose their strength in response to strong shaking, causes major damage during earthquakes.

During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, liquefaction of the soils and debris used to fill in a lagoon caused major subsidence, fracturing, and horizontal sliding of the ground surface in the Marina District in San Francisco.

Landslides triggered by earthquakes often cause more destruction than the earthquakes themselves.

During the 1964 Alaska quake, shock-induced landslides devastated the Turnagain Heights residential development and many downtown areas in Anchorage.

In addition to magnitude and the local geologic conditions, these factors include the focal depth, the distance from the epicenter, and the design of buildings and other structures.

The extent of damage also depends on the density of population and construction in the area shaken by the quake.

The Loma Prieta earthquake of nineteen eighty-nine demonstrated a wide range of effects.

The Santa Cruz Mountains suffered little damage from the seismic waves, even though they were close to the epicenter.
