The arrow points out an auto in which two persons were killed when tons of bricks and a section of a fire escape came hurtling down upon it from a four-story building on East Broadway near Olive Street in Long Beach on March 10, 1933. Other cars were damaged to a lesser degree by the rain of debris. There were many scenes like this in Long Beach, where there was a toll of 59 dead and many buildings destroyed by the temblor and fires.
