NBCLA reporter Hetty Chang, who was 7 years old at the time, lived in the neighborhood. She witnessed the aftermath, devastation and media coverage that landed in her home town. The events and stories that followed influenced Hetty to pursue a career in journalism. See the original story streaming now on Roku, Fire
