Title: Worshippers observe Easter at earthquake scene.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30807 WORSHIPPERS OBSERVE EASTER AT EARTHQUAKE SCENE ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Some churches were severely damaged and many others were darkened and left without heat as an earthquake of tremendous proportion rocked Alaska. Easter worshippers gathered, not only in churches but also in garages and warehouses before returning to the huge task of digging out from under the quake’s rubble. Despite the tragedy, Easter services, as at Elmendorf Air Force Base chapel (top), where many work parkas and other heavy clothing, were well attended. In Anchorage (bottom), the quake left part of Fourth Avenue, the main thoroughfare, and a row of cars about 20 feet below the level of the rest of the street.
