I was bored and looking at youtube videos, thought some of you might find this interesting.

A few spectators and players really got hurt in the burst. It definetly is something incredible and really shows how the weather is unpredictable

 

[Scott Taylor]

Indeed, that was one heck of a burst. Incredible video.

It wasnt a burst, it was caused by a bowing squall line. I was standing in a friends garden drinking rum at the time and tree branches were blowing every where.

It happened on Wednesday 17 Jan. There's more mention of it here.

What nobody knows was that it wasn't a burst or even associated with weather. David Beckham had just scored a goal in the nextdoor stadium from one of his infamous free kicks......and these poor souls were just feeling the interdimensional shockwave caused by his foot kicking the ball.
