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.

List of earthquakes in 1975 This is a list of earthquakes in 1975. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in damage and/or casualties, or are notable for some other reason. All dates are listed according to UTC time. Maximum intensities are indicated on the Mercalli intensity scale and are sourced from United States Geological Survey (USGS) ShakeMap data. The year was characterized by several large events which helped bring the number of magnitude 7.0+ events to 13. 6 events were larger than the biggest event of 1974. Two events reached magnitude 7.9. Turkey had the deadliest event with 2,300 lives being lost in September. China had an earthquake in February which resulted in 300 deaths.
