pocket of natural gas that couldn't support the weight of the drill. The gases that came out was a casualty for animal. So they lit the crater on fire thinking the gases would burn away. It's been 40 years and it still burns. My two media sources are alike because they both have the story that happened that day. For example they…

destroyed cities, many losses and limited resources. An example of this is “The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake and Fire left around 300,000 people homeless and the bay area in despair. A number of camps were set up around the city to deal with the destruction. Many people also left the city by the bay in search for more stable grounds.” stated from San Francisco 1906 Earthquake & Fire. (Paragraph 15).

I stopped for a fleeting second to admire the world around me. Rows among rows of the thing I loved most, books.
