Alaska Earthquake March 27, 1964. A rotational-slip landslide with a well- developed compressional buckle at its toe occurred near the Alaska Native Hospital in Anchorage. Note that the revetment surrounding the ruptured fuel tank kept oil from spilling into the area of the power plant on the left. The slide resulted from failure in the Bootlegger Cove Clay.
