Los Angeles Earthquake

Aug 18, 2011 - @ljpop95 By 1994, LA had an extensive rail system as a matter of fact. They two light rail lines, a multi-line commuter rail (Metrolink) and a heavy rail subway well underway. It just seems that those anchors were oblivious to them because they didn't meet their expectations.

Aug 23, 2011 - @Coastergeekperson04 oh right, i didn't know that...the subway would help the Rush Hour in LA on those highways..

Aug 24, 2011 - @Coastergeekperson04 I think even today, half the people in LA still don't know there is a rail system.

Aug 24, 2011 - Damn LAs rail network is far better in 2011 than it was in 1994 although the metrorail and metrolink systems already existed back then(they were in their infancy). The antelope valley line i think was extended in an emergency move to aid in moving antelope valley commuters who had no other way to LA and over the next decade became a more permanent fixture of the regional transit system. Still freeways reign and the rail system still underserves many areas

Aug 24, 2011 - 1994: Metro Blue Line 7/Metro to Long Beach,Metro Red Line Union Station to MacArthur Park(construction ongoing on branches to Western Av and Hollywood/NoHo that would open by the dawn of the millenium) Plus the Green Line in the 105 freeway was nearly complete and open the next year. Also Metrolink operated the San Bernadino, Ventura, Riverside and Santa Clarita Lines at the time of the quake(the latter was extended by the Army Corps of Engineers due to quake to Lancaster)

Aug 24, 2011 - 2011 LA has a much more functional urban rail system with service to Koreatown, Hollywood and North Hollywood via the Metro Purple/Red lines, South Central, Compton and Long Beach by the Blue Line, Redondo Beach El Segundo South Central, Hawthorne, Lynwood and Norwalk via the Green Line and East LA Boyle Heights and Pasadena via the Gold Line. The Expo Line will serve USC, parts of South Central and Culver City very soon on its way to Santa Monica Pier in a few years

Sep 1, 2011 - @rudis323 That was 40 years ago, and the epicenter was nearly right under the pass where the bridges fell. The new bridges survived the Northridge quake the epicenter of which was close by.

Oct 13, 2011 - @felolinux Coming from someone who lives in a 2nd world country with a FAR lower FREQUENCY of earthquakes and far fewer 'big ones' than we, I can only take your rant as that of a misinformed and uppity, outsider. CHECK your FACTS. When Chile next gets an earthquake of any kind, I will be sure to comment on your inability to take care of your own and ask for our aide and money. You are a moron, and insensitive- usually when I see a disaster I don't use it as a xenophobic platform. Douche.

orsetto81utube Says:

Oct 13, 2011 - @Django5198 IDIOT, are you and all of the other opinionated, ill informed MORONS commenting on this aware of LA AT ALL? You know what people always say, LA and San Fran are SO similar!!!! Same set up, LA IS a metropolis, where everything is within a mile or two. We are, you are right, just lazy lumps. I mean, who couldn't walk 16- 60 miles a day, oh, and make your appointments??? Fools!!! all of us.

orsetto81utube Says:

Oct 13, 2011 - Glad to see that a lot of people from foreign countries and douches from outside of SoCal, who CLEARLY have never been here through an earthquake, or through AN earthquake AT ALL, let alone lived here, have such strong opinions. Moreover, that people were hurt and all that you seem to focus on is imagined expertise pumped up by false confidence and ignorance is overwhelming. I don't post on sites about tornados, giving my opinion. What right do you have to give yours?

Django5198 Says:

Oct 13, 2011 - @orsetto81utube ok man you're right I'm sorry. It's just that when I was in LA I never saw anyone walking and the roads were packed

felolinux Says:

Oct 13, 2011 - @orsetto81utube if you think that I'm a douche... well it's ok that's what you think, by the way we had a 5.5 a week ago ant this week the 6th region had a 6.2, and if you see any xenophobic message from me... you need some help, I just said "California needs to have a higher standar in anti-earthquake construction" if that's not true, sorry, but we all need to be prepared, and California wasn't ready

orsetto81utube Says:

Oct 15, 2011 - @Django5198 We usually drive, bc of the distance, but work out like nuts. I do ocean laps and run the stairs (Santa monica) instead. Sorry if I was overly harsh, I just will not support crticism of my city. xoxo

Dec 20, 2011 - @ljpop95 we have more than one now tho

Jan 2, 2012 - If your on a fault line, You don't build lots of bridges and highways. That's why in New Zealand they didn't build a tunnel under cook strait. It just show how America is so dependent on their cars.

Jan 7, 2012 - I think its time for another earthquake, one for the history books.
