On March 27, 1964, Alaska was hit by a magnitude 9.2 earthquake (the strongest on record in North America) and tsunamis that together claimed about 130 lives.
Film shows Anchorage, the largest town in Alaska, and the scene of some of the worst devastation. After being torn by one of the most serious earthquakes in history, Alaska then had to suffer the additional ordeal of over 40 earth tremors. Property damage alone may approach two hundred million pounds throughout the State.
