What happens if there is an earthquake and you are on an airplain?!!?

Question

does anyhting happen to u or the plane!?

I have always wondered this!!!

Answer 1

nothing will happen!!!!!!!!      you are in the air nothing can shake the plane unless there is avolcano.......................

Answer 2

nothing unless on the ground because the plane is in the air so it won't be affected by the shaking of the ground.

Answer 3

The earthquake will shake only the earth not the atmosphere.You can enjoy to see the situation if you are flying in low altitude.

Answer 4

Nothing, unless the plane is on the ground, in which case it would shake as well.  Very little of the quake energy is transferred to the air, and even then it would be very close to the ground.

Answer 5

Well since you are in the air you should not be affected, but there is a chance the earthquake affected a tower and that might cause some sort of interference. It could also affect the place you are landing in which would probably be pretty dangerous. I'm no expert on this or anything but I hope this helps.

Answer 6

Been there done that, nothing but they divert the plane from Sunnyvale CA to Phoenix.  Was so glad I hadn't landed.

Answer 7

Won't affect the airplane at all as long as it stays in the air.  Landing in an area during or after an earthquake is another matter.
