サマリー
あらすじ・解説
On March 27, 1964, at 5:36 p.m. local time, a colossal earthquake of magnitude 9.2 struck the Prince William Sound region of Alaska. Originating approximately 15.5 miles (25 km) beneath the Earth's surface, this seismic event stands as one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The impact on Alaska’s largest city, Anchorage, situated to the west of the fault rupture, was immense and catastrophic.
Anchorage experienced severe property damage that reshaped the cityscape and left an indelible mark on its history. Buildings crumbled, roads cracked open, and infrastructures were challenged to their limits. The human toll, although relatively low compared to the magnitude of the disaster, was still significant, with numerous injuries and some fatalities. The aftershocks and subsequent tsunamis compounded the devastation, affecting coastal communities and beyond.
In the aftermath, Anchorage and its residents embarked on a journey of recovery and rebuilding. Lessons learned from this event have since contributed to advancements in earthquake engineering and emergency preparedness. Today, the city stands as a testament to resilience, with memorials and walking tours that educate visitors about the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, ensuring the stories of loss, survival, and rebirth are not forgotten.
