Earthquake Safety Tips: If the earthquake is strong then it is very important to keep yourself in a safe place. Where can a person be the safest during an earthquake? Car, train or plane. Let us tell you.
A very strong earthquake has struck Myanmar and Thailand. The intensity of the earthquake was measured at 7.7 on the Richter scale. This dangerous earthquake has caused a lot of destruction in both these countries. Many buildings and bridges have collapsed.
When an earthquake strikes, which is the safest place? Many times people wonder which place is the safest for humans during an earthquake: a car, a train or an airplane. Let us tell you.
Let us tell you that if you are in a car during an earthquake. The car is in an open field or parking. Then you can get out of the car and stand at a safe place. The metal frame of the car can protect you to some extent. But not completely. If the car is under a building or tree then there can be a danger of being buried under the debris.
If you are in a train during an earthquake, then you can avoid the danger of being buried under debris. But if your train is passing through a culvert or tunnel, then there is a danger of the track breaking or the bridge collapsing. That means it is not very safe to be in a train.
But if we talk about airplanes, then the airplane is at a height of several thousand feet from the surface of the earth. That means earthquakes have no direct effect on it. The pilot can control it according to the updated weather and safety system.
If we consider all these things, then among cars, trains and planes, the safest is the plane. Because it is away from the direct impact of an earthquake. But if your plane is about to land on a runway. And the runway is damaged, then there can be a problem in landing.
During an earthquake, you should always go to an open area. You should stay away from tall buildings, bridges and electric poles. If someone is in his house or building, then he should hide under the table or bed. And in such a situation, the lift should not be used at all.
