        Apparently it did trigger a tsunami but, thankfully, not a big one.

            No, that’d be a heck of a bridge. That was Ketchikan in the Southeast.

              Sorry, I have no idea what the distance is between the Aleutians. Is that the equivalent of stringing bridges between the Hawaiian Islands or something?

                The program I work on supports a site on Shemya, AK which is in the Aleutians. It's 1,500 miles form Anchorage.

                  Oh I know they are a long, long chain, but I didn't know if the individual islands are far apart. All I know about Alaska I learned from Sarah Palin, Northern Exposure, and The Great Race. And those UAF (A?) super cool hockey videos with the bear.

                    Anchorage to Dillingham is about 330 miles. This earthquake was a further 258 miles from Dillingham.

                    I didn’t feel anything from it.

                      Anchorage doesn't matter. I'm talking about the islands. Are these close enough to throw bridges over?

                      • For an idea of distance in Alaska, Anchorage to Fairbanks is 359 miles.

                          Dutch Harbor, which is kind of in the middle, to Shemya is 800 miles.

                            800 miles of water, tip to tip? Well. That is probably too long for a bridge. :-)

                              Homer to Kodiak, probably the shortest distance there, is 188 miles.

                              It takes 11 hours on the ferry.
