November 26, 1937, the Elysian Park landslide. "Started near the top of Point Grand View (Buena Vista Peak) as a small crack in the earth and grew to 500-foot fissure over three weeks, culminated on when a million and a half tons of loose rock and dirt created a "moving mountain" destroying a 600-foot stretch of Riverside Drive."
