BENGALURU: It was a big bang that shook Bengaluru on Wednesday afternoon and many theories floated around it. From an earthquake to a transformer burst, thunderstorm to the sonic boom caused by a supersonic aircraft, breaking the sound barrier. It was around 1.30pm that the sound was heard across the city from Kempegowda International Airport off Devanahalli in the north to Kengeri and Electronic City in the South.
The bang seemed to be a sonic boom, finally! The moment people heard the ‘thundering’ sound, they quickly posted it on social media. And it became the talk of the town. Speaking to TNIE, Joy, Founder of Sarjapur Resident Welfare Association, said, “Around 1.30 pm, we heard a loud sound. I felt it was just outside my house and it was very scary.
