Looking Back At Loma Prieta: KPIX Photographers Describe Covering The Quake

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) -- On the 30th anniversary of the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake, people across the Bay Area have been remembering what they were doing at the time the 6.9 magnitude quake struck.

For many people, TV was the first place they turned to after the shaking stopped. Years ago, a KPIX 5 special report looked back on how our photojournalists found themselves caught up in and shooting scenes from the earthquake.
