Loud explosion sound around 2 AM- Sunday July 6

[SabrinaJoy]

Hello,

I live at 53rd and Admiral. Last night my family was awoken by a large explosion sound around 2.30 AM. It was so loud that my 8 yr old son said he bed was shaking. It was way louder than a car crash, firework, or gunshot. It sounded like a bomb. Did anyone else hear it?

Thanks!

So I didn’t think to look at what time it was (no idea why I didn’t) but yes in the middle of the night I was just sitting doing whatever on my phone and almost jumped out of my chair when I heard a massive BANG. It sounded like it was right outside my window and, like you said, it was definitely not a firework, a blown transformer, gunshot etc. it was LOUD, and jarring. But the thing is, I live in downtown at 7th and Cherry st… It didn’t necessarily shake my room tho, so maybe it was closer to where you’re at then where I’m at. But I absolutely heard it, 2AM sounds about right even though I didn’t look at the clock. Also never heard any sirens afterwards which I thought was weird.

Yes. The same morons who set off fireworks bombs are combining them to make even bigger bombs. Often, they put them in garbage cans, which then creates the possibility of shrapnel. As if fireworks weren’t bad/dangerous enough, we are providing the public with abundant bomb-making materials. What could go wrong?

Thanks for validating this. I was starting to think the three of us in the house were mass hallucinating. Lol. Totally not supposed we both heard it, even though we’re not in the same area. When it happened I was like- I bet you much of Seattle heard this, bc it was that loud.

What you said makes a lot of sense. It sounded like a military bomb, it was so loud. My kid is a heavy sleeper and rarely wakes up in the middle of the night. The sound woke all of us up and he climbed into bed with us, saying his bed was shaking. :(

I don’t know if this means that WSP will respond to violations, because SPD sure as heck won’t:
