Most amazing video ever ?
This video supposedly was taken (3) days before the 1906 SF Earthquake. Amazing to watch.

====================
This film was "lost" for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car.

The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there.
This film, originally thought to be from 1905 until David Kiehn with the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum figured out exactly when it was shot. From New York trade papers announcing the film showing, to the wet streets from recent heavy rainfall & shadows indicating time of year & actual weather and conditions on historical record, even when the cars were registered (he even knows who owned them and when the plates were issued!)..
