New Zealand concert creates devastation unseen since The Scorpions rocked them like a hurricane
Don't be alarmed if you feel the ground shaking ? that may just be a rock?concert in progress. Two different seismic stations in Auckland, New Zealand measured ground tremors consistent with?volcanic activity that actually originated from a?Foo Fighters concert a mile away.
It is believed the vibrations were caused not by the Foo Fighters' music, but by the continued force of the estimated 50,000 attendees dancing and jumping. The vibrations were first picked up when the Foo Fighters' opening act,?Tenacious D, hit the stage, but didn't peak until the headliners played.?There were brief lulls in geologic activity in between?songs and sets.?The geological-level shaking ceased sometime around 11PM, when the concert ended.
Certainly, ground tremors are no laughing matter for New Zealand???the country was devastated earlier this year when an?earthquake hit Christchurch. And Japan suffered an earthquake so severe this year that it?shifted the Earth's gravitational field. Thankfully, in terms of real destruction, the only ones who suffered from this concert were the ones in attendance who actually had to sit through an entire Foo Fighters concert (kidding, of course!).
