Traffic Video of the Day

This is actually pretty cool.  A camera was mounted on the front platform of a San Francisco Cable Car traveling down Market St. toward the Embarcadero...on April 14, 1906:


Just four days later the city was devastated by the Great Earthquake and fire. As I watched this I couldn't help but wonder how many of the people seen in this video lost their lives in that tragedy.

The Car Lust blog, where I found this video, has some interesting notes about this video that you can read at this link.
