The 4-Minute Mechanism: How Alaska Moved 50 Feet

The clock broke. Most earthquakes are over in seconds. On Good Friday 1964, the North American continent convulsed for four and a half minutes. We reconstruct the Great Alaska Earthquake—the moment physics failed and solid ground turned into an ocean. This briefing explains the "Bootlegger Trap"—the geological deception beneath Anchorage where solid clay, under cyclic stress, underwent thixotropic failure. We visualize how the ground lost its structure like a "house of cards," turning into a liquid slurry that carried 75 luxury homes into the sea. We analyze the impossible survival of the SS Chena in Valdez. Caught in a massive submarine landslide that swallowed the entire harbor, Captain Merrill Stewart made a split-second decision: instead of retreating, he ordered full power into the disaster, surfing a tsunami wave over the ruins of the city. Finally, we reveal how a line of dead barnacles found by geologist George Plafker became the forensic "smoking gun" that proved the theory of Plate Tectonics to a skeptical world. Discussion: Captain Stewart drove his ship directly toward the collapsing city to survive. In that split second, would your instinct be to reverse engines or go full power ahead?
