On Friday, November 30th 2018, a 7.0-magnitude earthquake ripped apart
this road in Anchorage, Alaska, and created a huge hole that made the
unfortunate SUV that fell in look like a toy. However, in less than four
days, the road was already fixed. The jagged chucks of broken road are
gone, the hole is filled, the road has been repaved and fresh lines have
been painted. According to the Alaska Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities, it's harder to pave roads at this time of year
because of the cold temperatures, but they were able to do it. The
federal government released $5 million in emergency funds a day after
the incident to help get the repairs done.(: Alaska Tour &
