Explosives used at a gender reveal party caused buildings to tremble across the state of New Hampshire. An expectant couple had gone to a quarry to let off an explosion to reveal the sex of their unborn child.
People in towns miles away felt the impact, which was said to be caused by mixing chalk with 80 pounds of Tannerite, an over-the-counter explosive. The man who set it off has reportedly handed himself in to police. Luckily, nobody was seriously hurt as a result of the blast.
Local news reported people across New Hampshire saying there had been an earthquake, with some reporting cracks in the foundation of their homes.
