- bcraven 8y agoWell actually it happened recently in Peru: https://twitter.com/alerta_sismo/status/930989560896647169 https://twitter.com/alerta_sismo/status/930989560896647169 So either someone saw that and decided to make this story up, or it does indeed happen. I can tell you from experience that seismometers are ridiculously sensitive- the noise reductions that need to be done after shooting a land survey are a nightmare.
- aaron695 8y agoIt's a shame this is down voted currently. Anyone with a average IQ and primary school knowledge should know this would be the case. HN really has a collective IQ that's quite low. It's value is in the tibit's you can pick out. Also it was totally true. It was a phone app in their pockets a foot away. The HN article title / article? have changed if anyone is wondering why this thread is a little confusing, but it's also obvious (Real title "Mexicans jubilant over World Cup win trigger earthquake sensors") I also highly doubt the story the actual facilities picked anything up even which the knowledge to look for it in minutia. I call total bullshit.
