At three minutes to midnight on March, 12, 1928 the worst civil engineering disaster took place near the area where Magic Mountain is today. This was the St. Francis Dam Failure.
The St. Francis was part of the Los Angeles Aquaduct system. It was built in case of an earthquake on the San Andres Fault line. The dam was located by Lake Elizabeth in Leona Valley which acutally is the San Andres Fault.
