How it happened
At 7:59 AM 12-year-old Jennifer was heading for school by taking the school bus. The school bus is arriving for Kenny's house. 8:00 AM. School begins. A earthquake measured at 9.7 on the Richter Scale hits and ruptures Silverio land. The bus driver takes Kanhall Memorial Interchange. The overpass collapses. The school bus falls off the interchange. The road collapses, the school bus falls off, and several children die. 5 minutes later, the school bus is late. At a preschool, the teacher takes the kids on a nature walk. On the nature walk, the earthquake ruptures the trail and all the preschool kids die. So did the teacher. At an office, Katie was playing a game. The earthquake shakes the office. Everyone evacuates the building via the elevator. The elevator goes down at 32 km/h (19 mph). Everyone die. At Silverio land-Prontera International Airport, Mark answers the phone. A teenager's party is halted when the earthquake ruptures the whole building on the Market St. & Terrain Av. intersection. She says, "Earthquake!" Later, a married couple is living in a home on a hillside. The earthquake hits the house, causing a landslide. The couple runs away. The house collapses.

Hama, Jennifer's 6-year-old sister, is going to school. She is on a school bus.

At the school, the students evacuate. Too late. Someone says, "Daddy! Daddy!" until a portion of the school ceiling crushes right onto her.

9:00 AM. The freeway collapses. All the cars are ruined.

9:15 AM. At MovieWorld, Kelly Ogam was on a date with Deda Sanchez. A quake destroys the Bacon ride. The ride derails. All die. None survive.
