Pathum Thani: Meteor suspected as explosion rattles windows

 

Picture: Sanook

 

Many people in Pathum Thani in particular but also in Ayuthaya and Bangkok thought there had been an earthquake yesterday after window panes rattled in houses. 

 

Sanook quoted a disaster expert on Twitter as saying there had been no tremor. 

 

He and others indicated that what people experienced was most likely a shock wave from a meteor breaking up in the Earth's atmosphere. 

 

One expert said that this can happen at any time and not just during meteor showers.

Unbelievable. My first thought when I saw the video of the Beirut disaster was.....'Wow, that was probably a meteor.

 

Time to drink myself senseless.......

I was watching youtube videos about the riots in Portland and didn't hear or feel anything...

Me neither AgMech, didn't feel a thing and won't ever go back. Born and raised there and left when I was 49. ZOMBIE land!

Is that an oxymoron?
