During Liverpool's historic title victory against Tottenham Hotspur, fans caused measurable seismic activity, registering tremors on the Richter scale, particularly notable during Alexis Mac Allister's goal. University of Liverpool scientists recorded these events using earthquake-detection equipment, highlighting how passionate celebrations can generate ground-shaking. With a peak tremor of 1.74 from Mac Allister's goal, the study noted other significant measurements from subsequent goals. The research, aiming to inspire future studies, emphasized the fans' enthusiasm creating a lasting 'seismic fingerprint' at Anfield, akin to natural seismic events.
The study demonstrated that Liverpool fans generated significant seismic activity during their championship-winning match, proving their passion could create measurable ground-shaking events.
According to Dr Kamranzad, the tremors caused by the fans' celebrations, although small, left a lasting trace on the Earth at Anfield after the game.
