Geology enthusiasts are heartbroken over a seemingly mundane street repair in Hayward, California. The Los Angeles Times reports that workers accidentally repaired a misaligned sidewalk curb that was once the object of study of geologists, both aspiring and pro, across the United States. The curb, which lies on the Hayward fault line, was being slowly pulled apart as the plates shifted, providing a perfect illustration of seismic forces in action.
