Our tv viewing was disturbed this evening by a huge bang that sounded as if a wardrobe had fallen over upstairs. We thought it was our neighbours (their daughter is visiting, which usually leads to yelling and stomping up and down stairs) but no - there are reports of a Typhoon being scrambled to deal with "an unresponsive civilian aircraft. Perhaps some perceived threat to the fairly local radar base at Menwith Hill.
If you never hear from me again try to think kindly of me.... I know it's difficult
It made the national news. Jets scrambling to deal with an unresponsive aeroplane.
And "helping" it land!
The last time we had something like this was an earthquake in the middle of the night, whose epicentre was down in Lincolnshire. The wardrobe doors rattled and my first (stupid) thought was that we'd somehow trapped the cat in there.
The loud explosion heard in the Leeds area last night has now been explained.
When Eden Hazard scored the equaliser in last night’s Chelsea v Spurs game, thereby making Leicester City the unsurpassable Premier League Champions (I know....it’s crazy, isn’t it?), 100,000 people in Leicester blew up and POPPED their empty Walkers Crisps packets.....

Just want to add that my wife and I heard this and simply said "what wa' that?"
When you say you heard it in Canada it reminds me of the earth tremor we had a few years back (because it was also heard in Holland and places) in the early hours of the morning, and said wife said "what was that?", and I simply said "I'll tell you when we're up so you're not scared". Because I'd had a similar experience in Wales (The Prisoner location Portmeirion to be exact), and I knew it was a tremor.
I can honestly say the Earth moved and my wife felt it. Ooer as they say in Carry On films.
Wait, this noise, it wasnt the distorted percussion on your wrong Sinatra box set was it? Or a pile of dust jackets falling over in the attic? Or the sound of your leeds season ticket hitting the doormat?
