Meeting for the residents of Riverside Drive, who were affected by the Elysian Park landslide, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Town meeting for residents of Riverside Drive, whose lives were affected when a landslide occurred in Elysian Park, behind their homes. A fissure had been slowly growing on Buena Vista Peak in the park for about a week until it finally ripped open and dumped 1,500,000 tons of dirt and rock down the slope and onto Riverside Drive. The debris covered 600 feet of Riverside Drive, forcing traffic to be rerouted and attracting thousands of spectators from as far away as New York. Because the crack had been identified early on, damage and injuries were largely avoided
