Chris said: "I flew and filmed this three days after the Alaskan 7.2 Earthquake. "I wanted to get a birds eye view of the dramatic damage that the quake caused just a few miles from my residence. "I needed only to fly just above tree tops and fly around a mile to get her from my launch and landing zone." The damage stretched a staggering 120 yards long - with the cracks five or six feet deep. Chris added: "There was major infrastructure damage to a large area in the south central area of Alaska Including the roads buildings and bridges. "It's a big mess to clean up."
