This event led to the discovery of ‘infrasound’ or very low frequency sound that travels very long distances.
It’s currently still used to detect (above ground) nuclear explosions as part of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT).
There is a site in the ‘Windless Blight’ in Antarctica near McMurdo Station that a couple of techs go dig out and maintain every year. I believe there are about 30 around the world.
