- junto 12y agoI would assume that energy follows the path of least resistance. Hence, all the energy went up and out and not down. Notably Bogota sits in a huge valley, so they are also less likely to have been affected by the surface sound wave as well.
- pcrh 12y agoIf a loud noise was heard there, or nearby, it would likely have been reported...? I didn't get very far searching the web for something like that. One would probably have to go to the Bibliotecas de Bogotá and check newspapers from the day. Any Colombians reading this...?
