Videos of earthquakes are common enough.

It's the video of the fault line itself fracturing that's so interesting.

We know where the fault lines are, so we generally avoid building anything major near them because... well earthquakes. Hence no other videos of actual fault line fractures (vs general street ones).

The California Memorial Stadium is built directly on a fault line, right?
Yep. Had a pretty significant renovation/retrofit in 2010-2012 ago to address the fact that the fault had (among other things) caused some walls to start coming apart.
Guess we'll get even better videos then.
