Police seek help from public in identifying mystery explosion sound

A large explosion sound was heard in several towns in North Canterbury just before 9am on Tuesday - but the cause is still a mystery.

Somehow still unidentified??

    If it was heard in several towns and the shockwave was big enough to shake things, I imagine it was meteorological. Would be interested if someone collected timestamps from people’s cameras around town to get a read on where it originated from. Likely could get an idea on how high it was too (if it was meteorological).

    There are such things as these booms. They happen fairly regularly but has nothing to do with population so people just don’t experience them often. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyquake

      I’m guessing the latter.

      Or a farmer playing with using explosives to remove a trunk.
