other parts of alaska. dana: dan, could i pause you there, dan? stand by. we want to go live to ktva in anchorage. the building suffered a lot of damage. debris. this light fixture is kind of hanging on by a thread. yeah. i d like to show where i was when this happened. this is a pretty impressive example of what you re looking at. why it s important to get under shelter. this is the room i was in when this happened. i don t know how well you can see. this is our tape room. all these tapes we got some really cool classic footage in the archives here. i was sitting at that computer. luckily, got out of the pweulgd before a lot of this happened. this is gonna be a mess. imagine if you were trying to hide or take shelter against a
there s another one of those doors. if you re standing somewhere, you need to get to a place to get shelter. all of these pictures, any one of those could have fallen on your head. even these little tables. doesn t look big but even under here you would have been protected from what was falling here. these images amazing. if you re not sure what you re watching, that s a local broadcast. ktva in anchorage, alaska. that news room clearly damaged earlier today from the 7.0 earthquake that hit the anchorage area earlier. that earthquake, the aftershocks are now being felt as far as 350 miles away. on the coast of alaska in certain areas there s now a warning for possible tsunamis
earthquake has rocked anchorage. a magnitude 7.0. several aftershocks have been felt. we re going to bring you much more as soon as we get it. right there you can see a grocery store. this is a scene you have seen before in an earthquake. lots of items fallen off the shelves. we ll get more images as they come through. seven miles outside the heart of anchorage. mexico just gave an important word to senior presidential adviser and son-in-law to president trump, jared kushner. earlier mexico s president awarded kushner with the order of the aztec eagle, the highest honor mexico gives foreigners. he said he mononorred him for the work on the new trade agreement of mexico, the u.s. and canada that was signed earlier today. people call it nafta 2.0. even though bob lighthouser was the front man, many say jared
