To help the people on the cypress freeway, and it was also a reminder that the big one is yet to come. Right here where we are standing, 42 people perished in the cypress collapse. Reporter oakland mayor libby schaaf led ceremonies today honoring First Responders and citizens who went to help when violent shaking from the loma prieta deck brought the upper deck crashing down on to cars on the lower deck. And im watching telephone poles moving, and im watching streetlights bouncing up and down. Retired deputy fire chief mark hoffman was a outside fire station 1 when the quake struck. He and his crew sped to the collapsed freeway and immediately began the search for victims. I felt my best role was to bird dog and go from collapsed section to collapsed section, to try to get an assessment on how many bodies need to be rescued. Meantime, neighbors in the cypress mandela neighborhood also went to work. We moved quickly in the community to see what was going on and how we could help others.
