Anchorage Earthquake - ATC
An interesting link to the procedures operated by the Control Tower at Anchorage Airport as a result of the earthquake. I don't think I'd have remained up there for long, it must have swayed a lot.

A real testament to the professionalism of all involved. From the ATC carrying on while the tower is almost literally falling apart around them, to the pilots, I think at one point one of the pilots awaiting clearance to take off asks how long a delay there will be and is told that if he needs to get away, they will see what they can do, and his attitude is 'nah, we're fine, we'll just sit it out'
