If the San Andreas Fault finally gave and triggered a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, what would you do? Would you cower and freeze up or would you take action, ride on adrenaline, jump from crumbling rooftops and fight for your life by helicopter, plane, truck or speedboat?
Well Emma (Carla Gugino) and Blake (Alexandra Daddario), the leading ladies in "San Andreas," chose the latter, proving that there are no damsels in distress in this action thriller!
"All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. I've been for a walk on a winter's day. I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.; California dreamin' on such a winter's day. -- "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas & The Papas
Would you really be "safe and warm" if you were in L.A.? Not if the San Andreas Fault gives and triggers a magnitude 9-plus earthquake in "The Golden State" of California. Yet on the other hand, if you had Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a first responder, you just might have a chance.
When it comes to potentially disastrous earthquakes, The Los Angeles Times wants to make sure Californians are informed and aren't left in the dark or on shaky ground. According to an LA Times analysis, more than 1,000 old concrete buildings in Los Angeles and hundreds more throughout the county may be at risk of collapsing in a major earthquake.
