Lot of rumours on large bang that just happened.

Train fell off Bebbington bridge is rife.

Sounded like a large firework or perhaps electrical cable blown to me. Not heard any emergency sirens around.

Earth tremor, not a rumour all my neighbours outside scratching their heads.

I live in Tranmere and there has been loads of sirens going along Church rd...not sure what has happened but all my windows shook like hell.........>>>>>>>>>>>

I just heard that its been posted on FaceBook that a chippie has blown up, don't know where though

People heard the sound from Birkenhead to Heswall to Ellesmere Port. So far heard that it was a train hitting the petrol station at The Oval and a chinese takeaway going boom in New Ferry. Wonder what it will be next.

Could have been a sonic boom from a military jet.

EDIT: It's the old Connexions building in New Ferry, seen pictures, its obliterated.

Connexions in New Ferry

Still shaking myself. My god looking at the pics the whole building has gone. Hope nobody hurt.

I'm all the way down in Woodchurch and I thought the Baby had fallen in the room upstairs it was that loud here. When I checked he was fast asleep. GOD knows how loud it must have been locally !!!!!

It was the connexions job centre whole lot gone loads of blue light action.

Wasent that a furniture shop, very recently opened?

It was the old Lloyds bank

Heard it in Thingwall. The house shook. I hope no one has been injured.

Son said it was a row of shops.There again, not sure where he heard that, so it maybe a grapevine thing.

Heard in Neston too . Amazing the theories flying round ! Ive heard it was a dance studio, then a petrol station , then just a sonic boom -- Just hope no-one was inside the building.

that building was the old coop years ago
