ATC strip - Yes an earthquake

On the West Coast it's "...due to earthquake, *yawn*, another earthquake...

At least on the West Coast those kind of ATC strips aren't all that uncommon!

Oitquake? Fuggedaboudit!
Reminds me of an old Warner Bro.s Cartoon. :)

I'm thinking this might be fake... if it were from JFK, it should read something like

"GROUND STOP DUE TO $#%^$@@@$ EARTHQUAKE!!!! YES A @$%^$$% EARTHQUAKE..."

That's too funny. All too frequently I find myself questioning whether the reasons TMU gives for ground stops are serious...

ah
I feel like an idiot now, sorry guys...
*awkward smile*

To add.. TMU is traffic managment unit and ADVSY is advisory, the TMU will update about the continuance or termination of the groundstop at 20:00 Zulu time.. The rest is unimportant.

It is advising that no traffic can takeoff if they are landing at EWR/JFK/LGA.. Thats a ground stop and it is due to an earthquake. They evacuated towers and probably had to do a runway inspection to make sure there was no damage that could damage aircraft.

So what's the strip trying to say?
An earthquake happened on the east coast?
Or is it trying to say something else that happened because of the earthquake?
Sorry, I'm really slow...and I'm starting to think you hate me... ;_;

Amahran, Since most Earthquakes happen in the west coast as in California and middle US Earthquakes that happen on the east coast are pretty rare. So that's why it said "Yes an Earthquake.".

I don't get it, can someone care to explain?

Funny!!! Thanks for sharing!

that is funny!!
