I wonder what happens if everybody gets in the aisles of a cruising plane and runs as fast as they can forward and then fast as they can backwards and then fast as they can forwards, and does that more. A few years ago there was a story (likely apocryphal) about a Russian air force crew that hadn't gotten paid in a while, what with the breakup of the USSR and all. They were flying a cargo plane, the sort where the tail drops down into a ramp. Well, they spotted a cow near an airfield on one of their trips, and decided that a little beef would be just the thing. So they herded the cow on board. Somewhere over the Sea of Japan the cow decided it would find the answer to your question and began stampeding around the cargo hold. This scared hell out of the air crew, so they dropped the gate and shoved the cow overboard. The incident came to light not from the air crew/cattle-rustlers, but from the crew of a Japanese fishing boat that sank when it suffered a direct hit from a cow plunging out of the sky.
