Product Description:
Good Friday, 1964. It was a bright, sunny day in Alaska. The streets were crowded with people going to Good Friday services, coming home from work, leaving for the weekend....and then the earth moved. The largest earthquake ever to hit North America splintered buildings and cities across Alaska. From completely destroying the city of Valdez to smashing Kodiak Island with a title wave of epic porportions, the Earthquake of 1964 changed the face of Alaska forever. Using rare footage much of which was shot during the quake, "Earthquake 1964" is a fascinating and - at times - terrifying look at the raw power of nature at her fiercest. Never before has North America ever seen an earthquake of this magnitude - rarely has footage this vivid and exciting been available.
