Earthquake caused by Florence + The Machine concert in Berlin

[Translated from German]

Friday evening, 8:58 p.m. in Berlin: the earth suddenly shook. On the Internet, residents of the capital describe how lamps sway, houses shake. Experts confirmed afterwards: Yes, that was something like an earthquake. And the trigger was people.

Three seismographs in Berlin registered earthquakes on Friday evening. The earth around Tempelhofer Feld shook for about a minute.

Local residents sometimes felt the tremors clearly: "It's not funny. I live about two kilometers away as the crow flies, on the 4th floor of an old building," wrote a woman on Twitter . "The house swayed, my floor lamp swayed too."

[...]

From 8:58 p.m. to 8:59 p.m., privately operated seismographs in the area provided clear signals," he told t-online . And: "The tremors with a magnitude of 1.4 lasted too long to be of natural origin. They most likely go back to a concert." 

[...]

At that time the first day of the "Tempelhof Sounds" festival took place, with bands like Balthazar, Pete Doherty's Liebertines and the main act of the evening: Florence + The Machine. The latter band may have been responsible for the earthquakes.

A comparison with the set list published on the Internet shows: When the earth and houses shook, the piece "Dog days" was on the program. And front woman Florence Welch likes to ask the audience to jump, as a recording from an earlier festival shows.

The revelation surprised some. "As a former tour manager, I would like to know from what capacity you have to expect vibrations in a two-kilometer area," wrote a user on Facebook . "We've never had that before, even at the biggest open air events with 60,000 visitors."

Jens Sapski from "Erdbebennews" replied: "It has less to do with the number of spectators and more with the underground. Above all, it needs a floor that absorbs the energy of the jumping crowd and transmits it well."

Payback for the high as hope slander. We should be streaming to repent or we will be next.

I saw them at Outside Lands in 2018 and they literally have everyone put their phones away during Dog Days Are Over in order coordinate a huge “let it it all out” moment, jumping included (and strongly encouraged). 
 

it was insanity, in the best way possible
