Bouncing UK Children Cause Earthquake

Re:Not really simultaneous

The kids didn't actually jump simultaneously.

It wasn't simultaneously, otherwise the effects WOULD have definately been much greater.

There is a military command (I can't remember the exact order) given in a march that instructs marching soldiers to lose cadance when crossing a bridge. Failure to do so has been known to collapse bridges as the combined force of dozens of troops marching in unison is capable of creating a powerful ressonance.
