    WTF was that - Explosion in ChCh?

    Could someone please tell me what the fk that very loud bang and boom was, and why the emergency services are headed toward the airport?

    Fingers crossed all's well.

    One fk of a loud noise.

    Ooops - police are here. Later!

    Update: Radio reports a possible 'Sonic Boom' from an aircraft. Police are investigating. WTF kinda aircraft fly over a city in NZ faster than the speed of sound?

    Whatever the fucker was, gave me a fucken fright and put me in a bad mood.

    Not cool

    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Sonic Boom today

    We had a little excitement at work today... a big Bang - sounded like somthing heaving falling on our roof and rolling away down it. Heard from someone in the office report that it was heard in sumner. So being in the business of radio communications we switched on the radio and listened in on the police channel.

    So far its been reported as being heard in Blenhiem, so defiently not local event, and then they reported that all aircarft were accounted for (no Sept 11 repeat). The Police recon it was the Space shuttle re-entering the atmosphere.

    Anyone else hear it?

    Meteor strike is the latest guess. Apparently a truck driver just called the local radio station claiming to have seen it.

    Hmmmmmm.

    Straws...clutching perhaps
