Police regulate the crowds gathered to view landslide aftermath on Riverside Drive, Los Angeles, November 1937

Description:
Police regulate crowds on Riverside Drive who have come to view landslide damage. The landslide started near the top of Buena Vista Peak in Elysian Park as a small crack in the earth. The crack began separating 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
