Misleading thread title - I thought 30,000 people fled GFY in the last 72 hours...
Back story on the photo above:

This photo represents the South runways traffic at Sky Harbor on Feb. 24, 2012, between 8:00 and 9:09 A.M.
There are 51 airplanes in this compilation, not including the ones on the ground. There were a couple planes, all general aviation I think, which climbed too quickly to go thru the frame.
I count 7 airlines represented, counting United/Continental as one, 4 bizjets, Turboprops and general aviation planes, a USAF Tanker, and a MD-11 FEDEX.
There is one special livery, the Alaska Idatarod paint scheme.
The dominance of Southwest and USAirways really shows.
This is not handheld shots of 51 airplanes thrown together. I set the camera on a tripod, aimed at the tower, set the lens at 70 mm, focused once and then turned off the AF and stabilization.
When a plane took off, I snapped a few shots of it.
Then in the computer, I took a single shot of each airplane, masked the airplanes, and copied them all into one shot, with the planes in the exact position, relative to the tower as in each original photo.
Nothing super technical, original, or magical, just something for fun.

BTW, I didn't find any news evidence that any sort of mass exodus of Chinese nationals from the Philippines is underway. There had been a ship standoff issue between China and the Philippines over disputed territory, but that was resolved peacefully.
Better re-check your sources.
