Can an earthquake theoretically cause an airplane taking off/landing to crash?

either way, without wind resistance or other friction you would "fall" just about to the other side, then fall back the way you came

good question...im pretty sure it decreases when you get inside the radius based on the calculations. i dont remember all that well though.

Gravity decreases as the distance between the masses gets smaller.
