There was also a project to improve seismic completed previously on the windshield of the concrete deck. Fans have said that advanced in a coordinated manner, as the seismic wave passes through it, that the rules of the influence of light of several meters, and the upper deck concrete windscreen moved in a similar way to wave a distance of several feet. The power stage is lost, forcing the game to be postponed. The series does not continue for 10 days .
After the shaking subsided, most of the players from both teams immediately sought and gathered the family and friends of the stands before the evacuation of the facility.
Due to the importance of the World Series as a national sporting event, many members of the media locally, regionally and nationally, and later attended the spread of his comments on the action of earthquakes to viewers around the world.In addition to the dissemination of news, reporters flocked graphics, and a collection of his photographs was released the book fifteen seconds:.
