- The 1964 Alaskan earthquake, also known as the Great Alaskan earthquake and Good Friday earthquake, occurred at 5:36 PM on Good Friday, March 27 1964 Across south-central Alaska, ground fissures, collapsing structures, and tsunamis resulting from the earthquake caused about 139 deaths.
Lasting four minutes and thirty-eight seconds, the magnitude 9.2 megathrust earthquake was the most powerful earthquake recorded in North American history, and the second most powerful earthquake recorded in world history. 600 miles of fault ruptured at once, and moved up to 60 feet (about 500 years of stress build-up). Soil liquefaction, fissures, landslides, and other ground failures caused major structural damage in several communities and much damage to property.

This is an informative and interesting presentation. What is wrong with producers who somehow think the music should be as loud or louder than then narration? Can it!
Why does a documentary about the 1964 earthquake need continual music AT ALL? Do audience need dramatic music to remind them its a serious event? It makes it sound like an episode of "Ramsey's Nightmares"
He thought he was making an action movie!
My guess is the uploader is trying to get around the copyright algorithm by making something different then the original product
It's just horrible!! We don't want to hear any of that awful loud trash, from someone who is practically deaf, and hasn't got a clue about how loud the volume is. DOCUMENTARIES DON'T NEED MUSIC OKAY!!!
pleople put more attention in music
and that information gives to us ,
What a pity such a good documentary is marred by music too loud to let us comfortably hear the dialogue. This seems to be a common problem with many documentaries.
I hear them just fine but have really good ears
I agree. It’s terrible.
I really wanted to watch this but couldn't handle the sound so I down voted and moving on.
But all of the Betties need music where they don’t have the English comprehension for what a documentary is. Trust me. My mother thinks she actually needs garbage free music polluting everything. It’s all for the Betties.
I understand they want to add drama, but the wild drums are over the top.
Now and then, I like to watch these posts about the Alaskan earthquake. I was there... downtown on 3rd and Barrow. I'm now 75 and had the privilege, when I was 22, to meet a lady who was 103 and who had gone through the San Francisco quake of 1906. Double wow!
I was also there i stopped 50ft from the 4th Ave collapse. I was heading west.
It was amazing to watch,the Anchorage people are awesome, their unbelievable actions to an event like that.
That's so awesome to actually get to talk about her experience
Charles nice to meet you. Our family was there too. We lived on Turnigan and I’m 67 now. Remember it like yesterday. Remember having to drive to the top of a mountain with lots of canisters of fires to keep warm while we waited on the title wave to come too.
@@francesshurley9541 Hi Frances; About 30 years ago I went to Hawaii for the wedding of my God son and wound up meeting about 15 other people at the wedding who had gone through the 1964 AK quake. What the neck...? Blessings.
@@charlesdavis7087 would their last names been Westin
As an Alaskan I really liked this but as an audio guy, um, a professional sound editor would have been a good idea 🤷♂️🤔
Despite the earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis, bears, moose, extreme cold, and tweekers, I absolutely love Alaska ❤️
If I didn’t have friends or family here I would’ve lived some where else
Hmmm? I've seen many documentaries about bears etc. but they tend to gloss over the tweeker population of Alaska. Wonderful State! I worked there only one summer.
THEY SHOULD FORGET MUSIC ENTIRELY IN DOCUMENTARIES!!! WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT IS BEING SAID !! NOT LISTEN TO EXTREMELY LOUD MUSIC FROM PEOPLE THAT ARE EITHER DEAF, OR PRACTICALLY THERE, AND WILL BE IN SHORT ORDER !!!!
Nice place to visit, perhaps in a huge cruise ship, then skedaddle.
@@sheristewart3940 In 1980 I drove a pick-up and camper all the way from central CA to Circle, AK, end of the road at that time because of the mighty Yukon River. I spent a week at my uncle's house, who lived on Trapper Lake, which we flew to via float plane.
I wanted to see what it like in the winter, so two years later flew to Anchorage, where my uncle met me. By the time we ate dinner, drove about 80 miles to where he left his car, it was nearing midnight. He had three snowmobiles hidden in the bush, we climbed aboard and took off into the deeper bush. It took us the better part of an hour to reach his place and I was glad he knew where he was going because I sure didn't.
The sound effects overwhelm the dialogue.
Good call!

@@mjbgames4963 it's a completely valid point. The background music overwhelms the dialogue to the point that it completely destroys RUclips's Auto captioning. I grew up in Alaska and already knew about this but I just wanted something to watch and being unable to understand what they're saying ruined it. I'm also on the autism spectrum and the garbled noise was really agitating to me which you being a person on the autism spectrum yourself if I'm going by your profile information in the about section should understand but you'll probably just reply with f*** off again.
Proud to be a survivor of our 4 1/2-minute Great Alaska quake. Proud of our parents who took care of all our relatives, when they had to move in with us, and kept all we kids in good shape, through it all. Forever miss our friends lost to the quake. Grateful most survived, including my relatives who all decided to leave the car to go into Penney’s… and so weren’t killed when their car was flattened! Growing up with friends who lost siblings into crevasses in their yard, was such a lesson for us all - and it has helped me in every situation to not take anything for granted.
Lori what year were you born. I was born in 55 and my older sister in 53 and my younger brother in 57 and then had my baby sister too. my big sister and I were at home when it happened sitting on the couch and it made the couch slide across the room. Scary and My parents were at the grocery store down from Pennys with my grandmother and baby sister. We lived on Turnigan Ave and we were at the end before it curved. We some friends that were swallowed up and I will never forget that day. To this day we all talk about it. How mother and daddy got home to us is beyond me. My dad was a pilot who flew government personnel in and out of the state and he worked at the tower at the airport in Anchorage. We have home movies and the newspaper that they printed. I remember flying into Atlanta to stay with relatives because we couldnt stay in our home it was too dangerous. Everything was sliding into the ocean behind our neighborhood. Does anyone remember going ontop of a mountain because they were expecting a title wave. I remember barrels on the mountain with fires burning to stay warm. We slept in the back of the station wagon.
I was there to. Our family stuck together also. I still remember it very clearly. Take care
I’m glad you got lucky. This is one of my greatest fears realized. I think no one should ever take their safety for granted. At anytime, the rug can be pulled from underneath your feet. In Utah, we have had an occasional tornado, which still doesn’t make sense to me. We have had blizzards, and 1 earthquake I have actually felt. And it scares the hell out of me, when the next one is coming. I felt it 60 miles away from the epicenter. And it was strong enough to wake me up and shake my bed uncontrollably. Mother Nature doesn’t mess around. When she is upset, she is upset. The way we treat this planet, who can blame her? With global warming going on, I think we will be seeing a lot more of these natural disasters happening.
Me too! I was 3 yr and it's my first memory. My father was the service manager of the ford dealership in anchorage.
Sounds like a horror movie
I was eight years old when it hit. We were watching tv and all of a sudden the power went out and our house. We were rushed outside by our mom and we watched the house shake for 20 minutes. It was like a train was passing inches from our face. Government hill slipped down onto the train tracks. I will never forget that day. When a tremor hits I relive it again .
I can't even imagine! The 2018 7.2 was wild enough! We were so blessed in spite of that one, on a personal level we had no damage other than a few broken dishes and on a state level there was no loss of life and we fixed the roads so fast that Snopes fact checked us LOL!

I was there as a young teenager. It lasted. 4 1/2 minutes (like 63k atoms bombs). Imagine that! My 1 sister/ 4 younger brothers and I were alone at the time. We had tremors for weeks afterwards. It positively felt like the world as we knew it was coming to an end Big trees swayed touching each side of the ground. Roads dropped out of site. We lived on the air base in Anchorage. This is something you never forget.
AND it happened on Good Friday, so I would definitely think the world was ENDING 100% ! Like dam ! That’s scary and sad, Couldn’t imagine !
OMGoodness! Glad you survived.
Wow I was born at Elmendorf Airforce Base 1953
Glad you all made it
I was spending the day and evening on Lake Travis in Texas on that day, and we woke in the morning to the sound of surf gently washing up on the shore. It was a dead calm morning with no wind, so it was a mystery as to what could be causing the waves. it was later that we found out about the huge earthquake in Alaska, and my friend and I were just amazed that it's effects could reach 8000 miles down into central Texas. I have never forgotten that morning.
Great documentary, and I really enjoyed the information in between the music stings and overly loud special effects.
I don't care to listen to 48 minutes and 32 seconds of irritating noise. Bye.
Fuck off
From the first 2 minutes that I watched it looked like an excellent documentary. I sure hope they fired who ever did the sound on this video. Unbearable! Did they not listen to the video before releasing it?
turned on the mute button cancel the sound --------my Younst brother beating the bucket
@@verngoossen3628 Its wasn’t muted at all. It had sound . The music and sound effects were excessively loud. Louder than the narration which I and the others I shared with found irritating. Never heard the term “beating the bucket” before.
The music needs to be turn down so we can hear what is being said .
Exactly what I thought!! The subject and information is very good, but this production sucks.
So you call this music? whahahahaaaaa!
Exactly! What idiot sound engineer thought all this noise was more important than the narration?
Thank God for Subtitles, Good if dated Documentary if not for the overwhelming music
Exactly, audio levels are off. Otherwise a great watch.
While I don't remember it, as I was too young, but I was in Anchorage, Alaska during the 1964 Earthquake, just over a year old. My sister was born at Anchorage Hospital, 1 week later. We lived in a trailer park not far from Cook Inlet. We used fuel oil to heat our home, and that morning new oil was delivered. During the quake itself, my pregnant mother was on the kitchen floor. I was apparently watching TV, and my Dad was trying to crawl to TV and put it down off it's stand, so it wouldn't fall on me. We survived, that's all I can say. In 1985, I was stationed at Fort Richardson, also in Anchorage while in the US Army, so I got to revisit the place later in life. While there, I experienced a 5.5 Earthquake. I remember it sounding like a heavy set person was running down the hallway on the floor above me. I was writing a letter to my sister on the bed, when it started. I remember walking out my barracks room opening the door, and half the other doors were being opened by other soldiers with the look of surprise on everyone's face. So I've witnessed two earthquakes in AK, though only remember the one.
Thank you for your service. ❤👍
Why is the music so loud? Can't hear the narrator.
Galilla Sinatra Terrible audio.
Part of the original edit. It sucks though.
Moronic producers put the narrator in the background...
I give up. Can't keep listening to this. Sound production and editing are just rude to listeners.
THEN USE CAPTIONS to read what they saying
I remember living in Juneau when the mendenhall glacier had a huge chasm of water let go into the river and flooded the valley. The water was shooting out hundreds of feet for 13 hours straight. It was pretty jaw dropping.
If anyone flies to Alaska during the day, make sure you get a window seat on the right side of the plane. The view of the glaciers in the Chugach Mountains is worth it. They go on for miles and miles.
From which direction. From US side or the other side
❤️
The music is too loud for the narration.
Fuck off
Thank God Laurie and her sister found their mom after the quake. I cannot imagine.
Music is way too loud...can't hear what's being said.

It was an absolutely devastating earthquake! And a height of 1,700ft is frightening. Great video!
would have liked to have watched, but the sound effects and music make it impossible.

@@mjbgames4963 He's right tho...
I will never forget this, I was only 6.5 years old and was just sitting down to watch "Fireball XL5". The intro to the program had just started and then the power went out. We had enough time to say "Ahhhh" and all Hell broke loose!
Had enough, loud music, are not volcanoes and earthquakes awesome enough?
Fuck off
I'm done. Music is way too loud.
I was in that quake . We were in a car parked outside the J.c.pennys building in Anchorage. My mom blamed my siblings fighting in the back seat for starting it.

Those girls were amazing. They just stood there as the landscape turned into a rollercoaster.
Took a camper trip to Alaska from Michigan, on the Alcan highway! 9,900 MILES!
It was humbling! Saw Fairbanks, Anchorage & Seward & all of the Canadian Rockies along the Alcan Highway!
Two hours in a stretch, through British Columbia & other provinces, & no sign of humanity! The next gas station was the civilization! Generators to run the gas pumps!
Moose, eagles, & magpies on & near the road & crossing or STANDING in the road! Mountain ranges as far as you can see & gorges so deep, 30ft trees look like tooth picks!
Took a boat trip on the Bearing sea out of Seward & saw glaciers, eagles 3ft tall, humpback whales from Hawaii feeding in Alaska! Puffins & sea otters everywhere! That is an odyssey to put on your bucket list to do! YOU'LL never regret it! 👍😅🇺🇲
Ive lived in Alaska all of my life and I was going to school in Portland, OR when that plane stalled due to the eruption of Mt. Redoubt. I hadn't heard about it until now. Freefalling for 5 minutes with all 4 engines out! The pilots of KLM 867 should have been commended for landing that plane with no fatalities or injuries!
The KLM crew at least knew what they were up against. British Airways Flight 9 had to deal with ash ingestion without any idea why the engines had flamed out. I, uh, am an extreme nerd and have a document downloaded that chronicles aircraft encounters with volcanic ash. KLM and Speedbird Nine are the two most severe cases in the time period the document covers.
When that plane fell I was working at the international airport cleaning passenger and cargo planes on the inside. It was on a different shift so I didn't have to clean it but I can imagine what the chaos was!
I lived in Alaska, mostly Anchorage, for 3yrs in '86. Just being in earthquake cpark-area kept and not changed since quake, is an eery, surreal experience. It's cleaned up basically but all the tops of homes are even with you walking on street sometimes they're below you. Your mind automatically says 'what if I was here when this occured'. I experienced quakes when I was there but turned out to be just mild to severe tremors. After being at the park though my heart was racing much faster with them. I know though I'm still can't fully grasp the horror. Fascinating to see how Anchorage looking now, not like that when I was there. You didn't bother to go downtown, just rundown buildings n haven for some homeless etc...tough place to be homeless
I would watch this if I could hear what was being said 😪
Fuck off
I was on Kodiak during the 1964. I was 2 but I remember it well. The last one we just had wasn't too fun either. Ground opened up and hyway sunk less than quarter mile from my house on Parks and Vine roads in Wasilla. Damn scary. Especially when all the lights go out, you're in darkness and the quake is still shaking and thrashing everything.
Yes I was in the one that we had 4 years ago only one thing we owned broke it was jack skellington toy and our tv stand and tv fell onto the floor my family ran out of the house
You remember at 2! Come on
{
You didn't remember shit at 2 yo... Story Time aka Marie
@@davidmurray6176 Story time? I was there, you weren't. I do remember it and the ride on the ship The Tustamina in high rolling seas as we left the island during the Tsunami that followed. You must be a real dumbass to think kids don't remember traumatic events. You go out of your way to insult people you don't even know? What a Loser.
Incredible footage and incredibly beautiful landscape.
Am I the only one who can hear everyone perfectly? Even with the music?
No. Music is very annoying but I can hear the dialogue.
I agree that the mixing is way off. The music drowns out the narration. Why does RUclips not offer an equalizer?
I'm also long time Alaskan & we get alot of quakes every day, my aunt who lives in San Bernardino thought that California had more but looked it up and found out that Alaska has more than anywhere else pretty much in the world because most start right here in our state, even right now we are moving I'm in Anchorage
I was near to Anchorage in the USAF during that quake. Not to be forgotten as to the length of time it lasted.
I was 4 years old and believe thats one of my earliest memories.
I grew up in Whitehorse Yukon and remember being outside my dad was working under his truck and the truck moved on flat ground.
I know it doesnt compare to being there but Whitehorse is almost 1000 miles away....
I know you made this comment 2 years ago, but wanted to say my dad was also serving in the USAF then too during this quake. Stationed at Elmendorf. He told many stories of going through this disaster then immediately having to respond and start clearing and cleaning.
@@katiemiller2525 so was I.
I was on 4th Ave.
I lived in Northern Calif as a child during that earthquake. I remember it clearly and the flooding that it caused in the Eureka/Fortuna area where we lived.
Couldn’t get a full minute in before I had to turn it off. Would love to watch if you fix the sound.
I WAS THERE DURING THIS QUAKE AND TSUNAMI !!! MY HOME MY SOUL!!!
I was first drawn to this doco because of the '64 earthquake. However, the segment about the glaciers was VERY fascinating. So now I am on to find more glacier docos.
So, what a timely story given what just happened today. Not to down play the tragedy of the 7.0 quake that just happened which lasted about one minute, but in 1964 (March 27th) that earthquake lasted nearly 5 minutes which seem at the time to be an hour and was recorded to be 9.2. The after shocks during that night were many and most of them were over 7. Remember it oh so well with rolling ground and electrical poles literally swaying like tooth picks in the wind. Hopefully everyone is okay. Such a beautiful place to be at when the quakes don't strike.
Alaska will NEVER have another earthquake. Trump will not allow it to happen.
Carl Olson I hated the 7.2 I would of just ended myself during the 9.2
FLexxxtreme haha only if...
@@TicklerDude lol lol
I was there on 4th ave when the quake began . stopped my car about 30yds from the collapse .
Added music far to loud. Cannot what is being said
The overly loud background music and sound effects make this video impossible to watch.
This was the "Good Friday Earthquake". My aunt was a photographer for the Anchorage Times. There was a large pier that had just been finished in Anchorage Harbour, and the intended grand opening was delayed because of the holiday. There would have been hundreds of people on the pier, including my Aunt. It collapsed. Some of these still black and white photos would likely have been hers.
I remember seeing footage of the 9 point earthquake taken from a boat in the bay. Water washed so high up the hills, it looked like the bay was a bowl that was taken up in giant hands and swirled. I've never seen that film since, although I have looked for it.
Beautiful breath taking shots. Scenes were awesome.
Outstanding documentary. Really good information. My uncle and aunt lived through this quake. They said it was so long, they thought it would never end.
Yeah these musical note values have a lot informations.
@@MyGodZach I understand that several people had issues with the sound of this documentary. I did not. I found it quite interesting and informative.
It would be outstanding if it wasn't the melodrama and stupid music.

@@mjbgames4963 Wow! It has been YEARS since I have run into someone with such a sophisticated and extensive vocabulary!
I can't believe these guys think a drone is more valuable than their own lives. That is insane.
music is way too loud cant hear voices wasn't mixed correctly
I’ve watched this doc a couple of times. It’s fairly good. I didn’t experience audio problems like others described until the very end, when the audio went off completely for several seconds during the quadcopter segment. Btw, those guys were adorable and I was genuinely worried about their safety. The whole part about glacial ice caves was truly fascinating, but didn’t seem particularly relevant to a discussion about the great 64 quake. I always watch with captions to catch everything. The mistakes in the captioning in this video are truly hilarious! Sometimes I just could not figure out what the intended words were!
It’s very odd to me that in this documentary and in others about the Great Alaska 9.1 Earthquake of 1964 there’s virtually no mention at all of the largest earthquake in recorded history that occurred just FOUR years earlier, the The Great Valdivia (Chile) 9.5 Earthquake of 1960! It wasn’t on US soil, but its tsunami’s effects were. Weren’t the USGS seismologists even slightly interested in the science behind it?!
Already hard of hearing, I cannot comprehend any of the mumbling in the background. This is unfortunate, as I have followed my family into Alaskan fishing 40 years ago, and both my uncles were in Kodiak on that day. My fishing vessel was named Unimak, built by the Amy for the war effort in 1945. Had to run to deep water many times in those years to avoid potential tsunamis. Lost her in a storm in 2009, in Shelikof strait. Later!
excuse my french but I am getting so damned tired of the music being way way too loud on these videos. They are so bad you can't watch the show.
What a shame. Badly mastered. As others have said the music is louder than narration.
Fuck off
What a pity ,the background music is so loud I couldn't hear all the info...but thanks anyways for sharing it.
UAA was a great place to take geology class. We could take field trips to see fault lines at the south end of Anchorage.
I lived through Augustine, Spurr, Redoubt, and Iliamna; along with St. Helens as a kid in Montana.
Turn the damn music and sound effects down!! You can't hear what the guy is saying!
The sound is louder than the narrator. Too annoying.
Absolutely. Stopped watching at the 43 second mark.
Only reason I scrolled down to see if it was a me problem or everyone. lol.

One of my favorite documentaries
Bad sound but still a great documentary 👌
Pardon me?, what did you say? I cant hear you cause the music is too LOUD!!! I still listened played it cause its excellent work!! Thxs! Hope u can fix the volume!
I can't watch this due to the loud background noise. Too bad. It looked so interesting.
Fuck off
I was 9 when this earthquake happened. My older cousin was in the military and stationed there. I remember my mom sending him packages. We were really worried about him and it ended up that he was okay. We were very grateful.
My dad lived in Kodiak when this happened - he was 7. The quake started the second one of my uncles knocked over his milk...nice timing! They were evacuated to the highest point of the island. Their home was spared, and it still stands today.
Why do we need music while watching video's for information ?
9.2....the second biggest earthquake in the history of the world!!! The biggest was in May 1960 in Chile. It's estimated that was a 9.4-9.6 quake!!!
Great doco, just one small criticism... The background music is so loud at times that it overrides the voice-over... Dramatic loud music isn't necessary - the facts and photos and videos are mindboggling enough! Cannot imagine why humans live in places so prone to nature's power.
I'm outta here! The soundtrack is WAY TOO LOUD!! Sorry, I didn't mean to shout.
Fuck off
Came here to complain about the noise. Too late.

I liked this enough to deal with the loud music. I hope that this can be remixed.
Lol
CANT HEAR THE NARATORS OVER THE "MUSIC" NOISE!!
Fuck o double f
Thankfully the narration was low enough that it didn't interfere with all the beautiful music !
My wife and I were driving from Glennallen to Valdez at the time of the earthquake. We turned around at Coper Center and returned to Glennallen when we heard bridges might be out. We did not know the extent of the damage in Valdez at the time.
When i was in the U.S. Air Force back in the 1980's and 90's. i was sent up to Alaska at least a dozen times and every time there was an earthquake . And one volcano blowing up. And i'm from So Cal.
It's almost like this was made for kids. The background music dominates the video, and combined with the narrator's dramatic use of his voice makes this unwatchable.
True story. It’s almost comical.
Glad I'm not the only one concerned about the audio issues...
Magnificent documentary. The background music overpowers the narrator, however. Try some authentic Tlingit music.
Hello from Anchorage Ak. We learned from 64... last year we had a 7.4 and our buildings survived.
Lived in Anchorage in 1964 - experienced the awake and have never experienced anything of that magnitude since then - I was 15 years old at the time. Some thing like that never leaves you but becomes a part of you.
I was on 4th ave when the Quake struck driving west.
Mendenhall Glacier was so amazing to see when I went up there in 2002. It was so neat to see the bits of glacier falling off into the river there. I loved seeing it.
Kill the music, I can hardly hear the narrator over the volume of the music. This needs to be taken down and remastered so we can hear it, I can't watch this.
Might have been a interesting documentary except for the Bloody loud Music which Drowned the commentators voice all the time. 10 min and i'd had enough. Down Vote because of the Music.
Same, sadly

Just typical drama drama overkill why can't Americans be more authentic.
Because we're a country of idiots, morons and losers? PS shit sound for sure...someone might consider beating on the film-maker to the same level the tool was beating on the drums... aaahhhhaaaaahhhhh!
Geez, I really wanted to see this, but I couldn't understand a word and the (Back ground) music was WAY TOO HIGH.
No need for music.
dump the music...
I went through several Earthquakes and 2 Volcanic eruptions, Mt. Redoubt and Mt. Augustine in the 70's and 80's. when growing up as a kid on the Kenai Peninsula and in Anchorage...
I was there in Anchorage. My father was in the Airforce. We were stationed in Anchorage. My dad was on his way home from work and we were getting ready to go the movie theater in downtown later that day. It's the year 2023 now and I'm 67 years old. But I can still remember that horrible day like it was yesterday. It's burned into my memory. One thing you never forget is that sound. It's like this horrifying loud growling sound coming from underneath you. Or like when a 747 flies really low right over your house.
Was in Southern California, then. (suburb of Los Angeles). I'm originally form up there. Heard from friends abut the terror they experienced. One lady, not known for her religious side, was on her lawn praying mightily. It was known as THE GOOD FRIDAY EARTHQUAKE!
People please.... yes the music is a little overdone, but I can still hear the narrator. This is a very interesting clip.
bullshit Sheila , if it was a 'little' over done we would not have everyone else complaining to your ONE comment otherwise
Would be very interesting if the music wasn’t so loud and dramatic. I’m out
In 1970, I visited Earthquake Park. I don't know if ir is still there. It was something I will never forget. Houses left as they were.
The Person who uploaded the video normalized the audio. That's why the background sounds and music are too loud and drown out the narrator. A pity, it renders the video unbearable to watch.
Unwatchable due to the sound.
It was a great documentary. Unlike the other folks commenting, I thought they did great. Alaska always intrigued me. I’m headed there soon. I’m not sure what area I’m going to see. But I do know it’s going to be great.
Go check out Homer in the summer it will take your breath away.
