📜 Episode Summary:

Episode eight. In 1906, San Francisco was on the rise—a booming metropolis, the financial heart of the West Coast, and a gateway to the Pacific. Then the earthquake struck, leveling the city and reshaping its future overnight. But what if the disaster never happened?

In this episode, we explore an alternate timeline where San Francisco never fell. Would it have overtaken New York as America’s financial capital? The quake that rewrote history—reversed.
