Would you feel an earthquake from a plane?
Would you feel an earthquake from a plane? Air travellers may only feel slight vibrations or shake in a minor or light earthquake. However, the shaking can be much more violent and jarring in a strong or significant earthquake. Air travelers may feel like the plane is bouncing up and down or being thrown from side to side.
Is it safe to be on a cruise ship during an earthquake?
While it's possible that a ship can feel the impacts of an earthquake, it's extremely rare that damage would occur, according to Dr. Thomas Heaton, seismologist and professor of geophysics and civil engineering at the California Institute of Technology.
Where is the safest place to be during an earthquake?
If you are able, seek shelter under a sturdy table or desk. Stay away from outer walls, windows, fireplaces, and hanging objects. If you are unable to move from a bed or chair, protect yourself from falling objects by covering up with blankets and pillows.
