The world-famous American rock band Metallica held a live concert at the "Lane" stadium located in Blacksburg, Virginia. Due to the amazing music and the extraordinary activity of the fans, an interesting and rare natural phenomenon occurred during the concert: Seismologists recorded a minor earthquake in the stadium area.
According to information provided by the state's seismological observatory (VTSO), the earthquake was triggered by Metallica's performance of the song "Enter Sandman." This composition has become a unique tradition for football fans at Virginia Tech, with nearly 60,000 spectators at the concert starting to jump in sync as the music played.
A seismograph device located about a kilometer from the stadium accurately recorded a weak tremor of the ground due to the strong movement of the fans. VTSO director Martin Chapman explained that the strength of this earthquake was less than 1 on the Richter scale and that its effects were not felt in other areas around the stadium.
"The synchronized movement of the fans had such an impact that even the ground trembled from their noise. Such occurrences are very rare, and this once again demonstrated the uniqueness of this concert and the wonder of its environment," said observatory head Martin Chapman.
It is worth noting that the composition "Enter Sandman" is a famous song that not only ignites the enthusiasm of many fans at the start of football games but also causes great excitement at other major events.
This concert by Metallica is sure to go down in history as one of the brightest musical events of the year. This event once again proved how immense the power of fans is during live performances and that their collective movements can even influence natural phenomena.
