If you have ever been in a studio you would see how much equipment is suspended from the ceiling. They are diving under the desk so nothing falls on theie heads from above. Smart move.

#1 Good role model? Just like southpark when lava occours "Duck and cover"? I learned to stay in a doorframe as next cover in case of an earthquake. When the ceilling is falling down..a table wont protect you much..more chance to survive in a wall then under a ceilling in the middle of the room, the walls are most likely to stand if a building collapse. But #3 is right in the case of a tv studio..still not the best move..a desk wont protect you from cement blocks falling down.

#4 It is even dangerous to hide under a glass table during an earthquake. Hiding under a table was for attacks during war. where windows tend burst to the inside.

Do you realize it takes time to move your ass in a doorframe? By the time you get there you could be dead. I think you just need to do it with what you have in your direct surroundings. I have a desk here where i know for sure it's gonna hold everything above me if something should colapse.

Hey #4, while I understand that you have been taught to hide in a doorframe, hiding under a sturdy table can and will help.
I mean, if the entire roof falls on you; you're pretty much out of luck either way. But if something heavy falls on your head vs. that same object falling on a table first; your chances of living just went up a whole lot.
