A Quakes Arrival by Melissa Block of NPR, recorded as a magnitude 7.9 earthquake hits Sichuan, China, right in the middle of an interview.
The actual recording of the earthquake while it was happening is located on the sidebar of the web page linked above. This is my favorite audio piece because Block kept the recorder running as the earthquake hit. She also had enough sense about herself to describe a little bit about what was going on around her. Block didn't run or shut off the machine - instead, she kept rolling and captured the moment. That's bravery.
