Strong earthquakes can be 'felt' in an aircraft, just lookup 2011 Japan earthquake of aircraft sitting at Haneda, or even buses / trucks on the road - although they are 100's km from the epicenter, they visibly shook. If memory servers me right, an M7+ and extremely shallow as this one at 10km can cause peak ground acceleration in region of 3g.
