Spain's World Cup celebrations were so intense they were picked up by seismometers

The wild celebrations after the World Cup gold medal in soccer triggered such strong vibrations in the ground that they were registered by Spanish seismometers.

Scientists from the Barcelona Geocenter detected unusual signals on Sunday evening that could be linked to World Cup celebrations in cities such as Algeciras, Barcelona, Cádiz and Granada.

The most vibrations were registered when Ferran Torres scored the 1-0 goal in the final against Argentina, when Spain had a goal disallowed, and the strongest vibrations came after the final whistle, when the World Cup title was secured.

Similar vibrations were measured in Spain during the 2024 Euro final, which Spain won 2-1 against England.
