I'm at work in Orpington and everyone in the office heard it. Sounded like a kind of muted thunderclap. There's a big Tesco next to our office and we assumed it might have been a container or something being dropped off a lorry.

To the internet, etc.

Are our Typhoons yellow? Imagine the luls.

I find it deplorable they feel they have to apologise for something like that. If its an emergency its an emergency people should deal with that.

Are you insane? A noise was made and the jimmies of the elderly were rustled! An apology is a must.

According to the article; "A blast was felt across the county, according to posts on Twitter.".

What is this? A county for ants?

Didn't hear it myself, but the sentence "to fulfill their quick reaction role the Typhoons were cleared to travel at supersonic speed" in the article makes me grin like a child for some reason

Had one of these in Peterborough earlier in the year; was in the shed doing something and thought my dad had blown something up
