Buckner Building was slightly damaged by a 9.2 earthquake that occurred on which day ?
Buckner Building The Buckner Building is an abandoned former U.S. military building in Whittier, Alaska. Designed by Foss, Malcolm and Olsen architects, it was constructed by the military in 1953 as a combined mess hall, sleeping quarters, recreational, medical and administrative facility and used to be one of the largest buildings in Alaska, often being referred to as "the city under one roof". The building was slightly damaged by the 9.2 1964 Alaska earthquake, though damage was minimized by its reinforced concrete construction.
1946 Vancouver Island earthquake The 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 7.5 that struck Vancouver Island, on the Coast of British Columbia, Canada, at 10:15 a.m. on June 23. The main shock epicenter occurred in the Forbidden Plateau area northwest of Courtenay. While most of the large earthquakes in the Vancouver area occur at tectonic plate boundaries, the 1946 Vancouver Island earthquake was a crustal event. Shaking was felt from Portland, Oregon to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. This is one of the most damaging earthquakes in the history of British Columbia, but damage was restricted because there were no heavily populated areas near the epicentre, where severe shaking occurred.
