Excuse the dumb question as I've never felt an earthquake, but what did it feel like on the plane during the quake? Given the gear's ability to handle landing, I'm curious how much of that was felt onboard.

Lots of chaos there, but I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if they didn't have the extremely strict building codes and innovative quake tolerance engineering.

Add me to the list of well-wishers for everyone in Japan.
