Football fans in Seattle literally shook the ground during the World Cup clash between the United States and Australia. Seismologists from the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network recorded genuine tremors immediately following the opening goal scored by the American side at the local stadium.
The intense celebrations that erupted after the goal triggered localized seismic activity in the city’s port district. The situation was further complicated on Friday as several major sporting events coincided downtown alongside the arrival of cruise ships and an influx of tourists on the holiday. While city services were stuck in extensive traffic jams, the supporters demonstrated their ability to generate an extraordinary level of noise and energy.
