A celebration by football fans in the
US city of Seattle grew so loud on
Monday evening it registered as a
minor earthquake, a research group
has said.
Raucous fans jumped up and down
during an early first-quarter
touchdown in the game between the
Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans
Saints.
The Pacific Northwest Seismic
Network detected the vibrations,
measuring between a magnitude 1
and 2 earthquake.
The Seahawks won the game at
CenturyLink Field 34-7.
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network
director John Vidale told CNN his
staff recorded five separate seismic
events during the game.
It was not the first time fan
celebrations shook Seattle. In 2011,
the response to another US football
touchdown registered at nearby
seismic recording stations.
CenturyLink Field, which is open to
the air, also set a Guinness World
Record for noise in September.
