Liverpool Fans’ Celebrations Caused Earth Tremor

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.

This is the sub-heading.

Liverpool fans celebrating the club’s historic title-clinching win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield caused a series of tremors, university scientists have revealed.

These three paragraphs give more details.

Arne Slot’s side secured the club’s 20th top-flight championship defeating Tottenham 5-1 in front of a packed Anfield stadium on 27 April.

The most significant tremor was caused by Alexis Mac Allister’s strike in the 24th minute, which put Liverpool 2-1 ahead and registered a peak magnitude of 1.74 on the Richter scale.

The data was recorded by University of Liverpool earth scientists using equipment used to detect earthquakes.

Looking at it on a scientific basis, it is surely a very good test that the equipment is working well.

The whole of the BBC article is worth a good read.
