Thirty years after he pulled a boy alive from the wreckage of the Cypress Freeway by chainsawing through another earthquake victim, an East Bay doctor still thinks about that miraculous rescue, almost every single day. So does KCBS Radio Reporter Doug Sovern, who was there when it happened, and had a reunion with the surgeon to share their memories of the Loma Prieta earthquake.  

This is a “telescoped” reel of audio from the period between 5pm and 6pm on October 17, 1989 as KCBS Radio swings into gear after the Loma Prieta Earthquake—the first hour of coverage following the 5:03 pm quake. Jan Black is the studio anchor. Stan Bunger and Mike Woodley are at Candlestick Park.Of note: a pre-recorded safety announcement, which urged listeners to consult the front of their phone books for detailed information. The first reports of the destruction of the elevated Cypress Freeway came 32 minutes after the quake struck. The first magnitude readings were broadcast nearly 40 minutes after the quake hit (originally referred to as 6.9 in Hollister area). The first reports of the failure of a portion of the eastern span of the Bay Bridge came more than 45 minutes after the quake.

When the Cypress Freeway collapsed during the Loma Prieta earthquake, many Oakland residents risked their own lives to rescue victims trapped in the ruins. In this episode, a collaboration with Snap Judgement, Raven Roberts shares his memories of what it was like to live through that disaster – and the traumatizing aftermath. Raven’s story reveals that even though West Oakland has changed dramatically since the freeway came down, many long-time residents still carry deep scars from the quake. This story was co-produced by Snap Judgement -- an Oakland-based, nationally syndicated radio show and podcast.
