San Francisco Earthquake and Fire from Red Channels on Vimeo.

I've seen a lot of short clips of footage pop up on the youtubes over the years, but never a compilation quite like this one.  It features epic shots of people sitting and lying in public spaces, wearing their Sunday best while setting up refugee camps in various parks (I believe the park featured is Alamo Square, but I don't really know shit), and tearing down destroyed buildings with ropes and pulleys.  Looks like fun!

Fucking hipsters

And all you whiny bitches thought Muni was bad today...

Recommend R. Solnit's "A Paradise Built in Hell" if you haven't read it already.
