Morley Safer of 60 Minutes reports on a film of San Francisco’s Market St., shot in April 1906, days before the infamous earthquake and subsequent fire that destroyed a large portion of what was then San Francisco. The film, shipped by train to New York the night before the earthquake, offers one of the few glimpses on celluloid of the city at that time.

You can download the full, original film from the Internet Archive.
