How good do you think the OP's ears are to pinpoint a bang then the subsequent echo to a road?

Somebody else posted something about girls arriving back in work from their lunch and saying a road was blocked off. The post has since been deleted...

del88

Someone is deleting posts..maybe for security reasons

Must be new supplies heading down the M50 to the mint in Sandyford.

I have a programmable transmitter here and entered the frequency of the civil defense into it but nothing heard so far.

They are transporting seized cigarettes off to be destroyed.... That's the reliable info so far. Afraid of a Provo/armed attempt to get them back so heavy military presence.... Heard it was one of the biggest finds ever....

Moore street will be on drought alert now lol

Maybe unrelated but..

2 fully loaded military birds just high-tailed it over Newbridge headed for Dublin,

not in the Baldonnel flightpath either.

That's mad, I saw a big German luger military plane leave dub airport on Sunday with the back ramp open on it.....

I'd say there must be some training going on....maybe the Brita want us ready for the Olympics too lol ....

During lunch time on Fleet Street (beside the carpark) their were undercover cops and police cars all over that area, 1 man on ground in handcuffs

CianRyan

I spotted what looked like a military helicopter over Tallaght at about half one today, generally not a usual sight in the skies around here so I thought it was odd.

KTRIC

Just spotted a convoy of army trucks heading down the M7 towards the city

James1402

Anyone got pictures of the convoy? Spotted the helicopters circling around the m50 from ballinteer about a hour and a half ago.

hardCopy

No mention at all on Newstalk.

Boards.ie for all your breaking news.

shakin

ah sure its probably a military coup, might be no harm

Bull McCabe.

Don't really know the dublin area but is there a barracks around the D2 area? I'm thinkin maybe there was some kind of improvised bomb found and the army were called in to detonate it?

No idea..i felt the concussion of it from my 5th floor office in nassau st...it could've been higher up than street level as nobody else seemed to notice.

If army are training in the area, maybe it was some jet breaking sound barrier? That's a loud booming sound isn't it?

What would they break the sound barrier with? Some sort of hammer?

It was probably Walter Mitty on his super-sonic magic carpet flying through this thread!.

Or they could've been test-firing a new Human Cannonball..

The sound barrier would indeed use some sort of hammer to break jets.

There might be something about it on tv3 news in a few minutes.

cocoshovel

induring its absolutely nothing at all. Just random lad 1 heard a bang from a construction site, random lad 2 saw a helicopter and assumed it was the army goin mad! and finally random lad 3's friend saw an ambulance with blue lights flashing parked on Tara street. Pile of ould biddies!

There might be something about it on tv3 news in a few minutes.

As if Irish news would ever report something on time. Give it at least 2 hours :pac:


Wait...what am I doing on this forum? *runs away*

Facebook is down. It was the universal sound of fists hitting desks!
