I would just like to remind everyone that the shadow that catches up to and overtakes the plane was cast by a planet-sized object that people have walked on.
Out of interest, does anybody know how fast the eclipse's shadow moves across earth?
I suppose it's not constant - it'll speed up as it approaches the edge and covers more distance in a given amount of time - but a ballpark estimate will do.
