Description:: Nighttime shot of the Elysian Park landslide. May have been taken the night of the slide (Nov. 26) as it appears to be in progress. The landslide started near the top of Buena Vista Peak as a small crack in the earth. The crack began separating around November 15, 1937 at a rate of about half an inch every 24 hours, then became a meandering zig-zag, and finally a landslide on November 26, 1937. During the landslide 1,500,000 tons of loose rock and dirt tumbled down the hill and onto a 600 foot stretch of Riverside Drive. The disaster caused rerouting of traffic and attracted thousands of spectators. Because the initial crack was identified early, damage and injuries were largely avoided
