It has been speculated that most of the damage in the 1906 quake was caused not directly by the earthquake itself, but by the resulting inflagration. � � Because of the earthquake, over half of the city's population of 400,000 were left homeless to live in tents. � The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake resulted in a collapse of the middle portion of the Bay Bridge.. Motorists were trapped and killed between the beams, accounting for many of the injuries and deaths in that area.
