Join Ann Curry for dramatic reunions between two people who as children in 1964 survived the biggest earthquake in North American history and the second largest ever in the world. Michele searches for her neighborhood friend Gretchen Young who shielded her through the traumatic earthquake, while Dan wants to find fellow Little League baseball player Bucky who also survived the earthquake that destroyed their childhoods.
On the afternoon of March 27, 1964, the small communities around Anchorage, Alaska, were torn apart by the 9.2 magnitude earthquake. Entire streets of homes slid into the sea, and vast fissures erupted in the streets. But for two young children who survived, the disaster had a deeper, lasting impact. Their idyllic childhoods were destroyed, leaving wounds they now want to heal.
