SynopsisA glimpse into the history of disaster in Los Angeles, real or imagined, argues that the most destructive forces are the movies and books depicting the city as a hotbed of riots and natural disasters., In a gripping reconnaissance into the urban future, a provocative interpreter of the American metropolis unravels the secret history of disaster, real and imaginary, in Southern California and shows how these tragedies could have been avoided. 30 photos.
