Europe airports have ground to a halt ever since this incident. How long will the flights be suspended?

It is really scary to think of what's been happening lately. A string of strong earthquakes at different spots all over the world with just a few days or weeks separating one fromthe other.

The Earth has been cooling and shrinking ever since it began as a huge mass of swirling hot gases orbiting its newly created Sun. With every earthquake and volcano it gets a little smaller, and today especially with all the oil drilling and mineral extraction the process of shrinking appears to be accelerating. But of course almost everyone wants to grow the economy.
