I had just gone to bed (am a late owl) and this sound of an incredibly loud crash or thud, which felt as though it was literally in the building or under the building gave my an almighty shock. It went on banging and shaking very loudly for several seconds. As it faded, I got out of bed and came to the laptop to try and see what had happened. One thought that crossed my mind was that a very large aircraft might have crash landed very nearby. 0
