Is it possible to fall into a crack an earthquake leaves?
In 1906 there was an incident in Point Reyes, California where a cow fell in a large crack made by the quake. Apparently her tail was the only thing showing after the ground closed up. If cows (who are far larger than you or I) can take a tumble, it is a good assumption that people can roll right under as well. On a more recent note (May ’08) – a whole village near Kham was reported to be buried in a matter of seconds before anyone was able to escape. The answer to your question is Yes, you can fall victim to an earthquake’s destruction. As far as the depth of the fall – it depends on the size of the fissure and the human who is descending.
