A report of an armed suspect in a Sylmar neighborhood Monday triggered the evacuation of Sylmar Charter High School today before the man was safely taken into.
The shocking story told 50 years later by those who lived it.
It seems hard to believe it’s been 50 years since the earth shook Los Angeles shortly after 6 A.M. on February 9, at a rate of 6.5 on the Richter Scale. More than 60 people lost their lives in what has been recognized as probably the most “significant” earthquake in the history of the United States. The story is told in “Shaken; The Great Sylmar Earthquake.”
“It was a moment in time I will never forget, and even then we didn’t realize how important Sylmar would be to the world,” said Producer Bob Brill, who survived the quake as a 17 year old student of Sylmar High School. “It’s been my passion to bring this story to the world since not long after it happened. It was that mind blowing.”
