Hell Yeah! Leicester City’s Last-Minute Winner Against Norwich Caused A Minor Earthquake


Everything about Leicester City right now is nuts. Firstly, they're sitting at the top of the Premier League table -- above the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. And as if that isn't crazy enough, their fans caused a minor earthquake with their celebration of a last-minute winner against Norwich City in February. A BBC report details how a University of Leicester team installed a seismometer near the team's stadium a reported a 0.3 magnitude earthquake when Leonard Ulloa scored the winning goal. The quake was caused by a sudden energy release and has been named 'Vardy Quake' in honour of their top-scorer Jamie Vardy. The seisomometer was installed as part of project work to detect earthquakes around the world. Paul Denton, a seismologist from the British Geological Society, said: "It wasn't just a case of cheering or clapping, it was 30,000 people standing up at the same time - an awful amount of energy."
