saintscottofthenortham Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 Just after 23:00, heard a full on "Boooom". Not everyday you hear that around Eastleigh so flicked on Facebook and it was heard from Airport direction to as far as Bishopstoke. The police spotter plane is flying over mine at the minute, and my missus cousin has informed us that there are police swarming Chadwick Road & Owen Road just off Passfield Avenue. Anyone else seen or heard anything?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 Seen this on twitter: "Ok, just come out of the cinema to get a phone call saying a bomb has gone off near my house??!... :/"

NorthamSteve Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 there was a small bomb on chadwick road last year, wonder if it was connected. Assuming that there is a bomb... http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/8092326.Bomb_explodes_on_driveway/
saintscottofthenortham Posted 14 February, 2011 Author Posted 14 February, 2011 I am about a mile and a half from where it apparently went off and we heard it loud and clear. Whatever the f*** it was, it was certainly meant to make an impression. A bomb went off there last year and apparently the person behind it is now behind bars. There's now at least 2 copters in the sky.
Guan 2.0 Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 A police spokesman has said they are looking for a Mr T Jones in connection with the blast. Mr Jones was in the area for a business trip due to Valentines day. Although it is too early to confirm anything at this time, Police have not ruled out the possibilty that it was a sex bomb. *hopestochristthatnoonewashurt*
Baj Posted 14 February, 2011 Posted 14 February, 2011 Heard a "Thud" about, hmm, 30 mins ago maybe, then helicopters or something, got quote noisy. Seriously doubt it was anything major, I live pretty much smack centre. I was about 1km away from the Ealing bomb when that went off, and that was about 10 times louder than what I heard tonight

Liquidshokk Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Someone on twitter saying it was a car crash on leigh road and was on echo site at 21:00. Too early and not loud enough surely. Maybe one of the cars exploded....

Johnny Bognor Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 I was sitting on the terrace of the William Hardwicke, when the IRA bomb went off in Bognor high street 17 years ago. A big bang, followed by the sound of glass and people screaming. Not nice. Thankfully no-one was killed.
miserableoldgit Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 I live about a mile and a half from Eastleigh town centre, towards Swaythling, and heard a hollow boom at around 11.00pm.
Baj Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 The Ealing bomb shook my house in Chiswick. THAT was a bomb. no... no it didnt
Verbal Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 The bomb, it didnt shake your house It did. Goodness, there was me thinking only my family were in the house.
Baj Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 It did. Goodness, there was me thinking only my family were in the house. Well, theres no way it shook your house, but makes for a nice story i guess
Verbal Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Well, theres no way it shook your house, but makes for a nice story i guess How odd that you should think so, or find it necessary to have this argument. Anyway, this is pointless.
Baj Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Just find it remarkable that a bomb that didnt shatter windows more than 100 meters away, that could only be heard not felt when I was stood in the street not more than half a mile away was able to shake your house 3 or 4 miles away
Verbal Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Just find it remarkable that a bomb that didnt shatter windows more than 50 meters away, that could only be heard not felt when I was stood in the street not more than half a mile away was able to shake your house. You evidently know my address, so why don't you look at a map? It'll probably tell you why.
Baj Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Chiswick is closer to ealing than ealing in to ealing then, apparently
Verbal Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Chiswick is closer to ealing than ealing in to ealing then, apparently You might want consider that bombs, by their nature, tend to do these things. Unfortunately I've seen the consequences of a few of them in Pakistan. Their effects seem pretty random - people have been stood close to them and walked away; others standing next to them have been cut in half. Blast waves radiate out and tend to follow the line of least resistance, like a tidal wave.

dubai_phil Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 I heard a bomb go off once. It was in a Waste Bin in Bangkok It didn't shake my house so it seems I am not qualified as an uber bomb discusser HTH Meanwhile, any explanation today?

saintbletch Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 OK. Now we've finished playing the "My house had a greater exposure to the blast shock wave than yours" game, does anybody know what that noise was last night in Eastleigh? I find it a little strange that there was a significant explosion last night that apparently led to helicopters taking to the skies but there is no mention of it in the mainstream local media. The only reference I can find is this.

I find it a little strange that there was a significant explosion last night that apparently led to helicopters taking to the skies but there is no mention of it in the mainstream local media. The only reference I can find is this. Many MANY years ago I was at home at my parents. I heard an "explosion" that rattled the windows of the house. Called it in, Police came round asked some questions and around half the village had heard it. They took the details and then let us know a couple of days later that it was a Jet from Boscombe Down that had inadvertently broken the Sound barrier in a manouvere. Being a wave, they explained it could have reflected off some hills and buildings and so not everyone would have noticed it. May have been a similar case over there maybe one of those Harriers guys decided to see if the old model actually could do it!

thesaint sfc Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 I put a mentos in a bottle of coke once. That made my bomb shake which was in my house which also shook.
dune Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 (edited) I threw an aerosol in a bonfire as a youngster and that got the neighbours out of their houses. I also threw a fire work at a teacher which made him jump. He was up a ladder at the time too. Edited 15 February, 2011 by dune

Liquidshokk Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Seems a bit strange that everyone is keeping hush on this. Nothing in the echo but then I guess it was too late for them to be out actually doing their job and was nothing available to copy and paste

Dog Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Whoah. Was that for real? Where can I get some of those bad boys?? They're more effective if you hold hold them in your hands or throw them like a German hand grenade.
dune Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 They're more effective if you hold hold them in your hands or throw them like a German hand grenade. Geezer i was with when we thre fireworks at Mr Baker (right cock of a teacher) had one go off in his hand. funny as **** at first then realised he was in abd way so tried not to larf.
Liquidshokk Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 Surely fireworks on that scale are banned over here? or did something go wrong with that one to cause it to scatter like that?

I had a teacher called Mr Baker too. He was a cock too. Maybe its in the name..... or maybe i know you. interesting.
Dog Posted 15 February, 2011 Posted 15 February, 2011 This is the only way to launch a firework........ 1st attempt: 2nd attempt:
