Underneath their feet, the earth begins to stir.<br /><br />Wednesday, April 18, 1906, 5:12 A.M., <br /> Sacramento Street<br /><br />Early the next morning, Henry Travis hears a low rumbling. It sounds like a train coming. . . . Windows rattle. Doors thump. . . . There is a crash above him.<br /><br />Wednesday, April 18, 1906, 5:12 A.M., Chinatown<br /><br />Across town, Henry's friend Chin waits for the trembling to stop. But it goes on and on. . . .
