Default Loud bang every 30 seconds in signal hill area

Since 8pm there's been a loud bang/thud every 30 seconds somewhere in the distance in the signal hill area. At first it sounded like fireworks. Is this somehow related to the sarcee glenmore "emergency" construction?

I can't think if anything else it would be. Very curious.

There's a vast amount of construction going where Glenmore and Sarcee combine. That's probably it.

It was hump day, what do you expect. You heard the rattle of head boards, and then you heard the sounds of thousands of remote control power on buttons being hit.

A loud bang every 30 seconds?

Sounds like an average Wednesday for fotze's mom.

That's the sound of little chunks of Notleys ego hitting the ground since her latest approval ratings came out.

Are they doing any powerline work along glenmore? They use explosives to fuse wires together. I hear them all the time in the SE.

The first time I heard this I was moving a 500 L tank of gasoline with a bobcat and at the exact time I lightly bumped into a fence post the explosion went off (I had no idea they were doing this). For a half second I thought I had blown myself up. I then went inside to change my shorts.

Very cool, thanks for the vids.

I suppose I never actually considered how the cables were connected.

I thought my neighbours kids were climbing on my recycling bins or banging on my wall.

I think I will continue to yell at them, it is better to be feared than loved.

They've been pounding piles off and on 2 blocks away from me for a few weeks now and I have my son convinced it's T.Rex footsteps

D'oh,

I thought you meant THIS Signal Hill and I got excited because I thought maybe I'd find a Flames Friend(TM) in St. John's... /sniffle
