Big BOOM in Wellington? (Thursday 1 March)

**Steam** · 1st March 2007, 13:34

Was there just a huge boom, like an F1-11 at about Mach 1, or was it a bomb in my neighbourhood? Or a shotgun murder next door?
Eh, anyone hear it? Just about 2.30?

I seriously doubt that Civil Aviation would let an F111 or any other capable aircraft go supersonic near a major urban area.

Ya, must've been something in my neighbourhood. LOUD! Very like a bomb.

That's in Ngaio, I heard it in Vivian Street. Where were you Steam?

I was in Wadestown / Wilton. That musta been loud to be heard all over those places. Still a mystery. I'll read tomorrow's paper closely.

Bit of luck it will have been Helen and Winston eloping in the beehive.........all the way to mars or some other such faraway place..........

Ive heard booms before...turned out it was cannons being fired somewhere on the harbour shore... where or why I know not. Could it have been more of the same?

No, it was REALLY loud up here in Wadestown. Like it was a shotgun next door, or a bomb 100m away.
