Yeah saw that on the news last night. It made headline news here in Australia as well as the racial riots in Sydney.

Did I hear it? I should of added to the picture thats the view from my bedroom!
The bang didn't seem that loud it was more the house shaking for what seamed like ages.
A full blown earthquake must be one hell of a scary thing

I took this from a Sleazy Jet flying back into Luton on Sunday night. The pilot did all kinds of diversions and banking and rolling so everyone could get pictures. And himself too I guess.
