Although I'm in Hove.

Just leave this quote from Derbyshire Live wesbite:

Derby Arena comment on huge bang

A spokesman for Derby Arena, where the Big Bang Fair East Midlands is taking place today, said it was nothing to do with them.

And from one of our ever reliable redtops:

A large 'sonic boom' was heard by thousands of people in Derby this morning sparking fears of an earthquake.

Two RAF Typhoons escorted AirIndia B777 Flight 191 to London Stansted after a bomb threat this morning but it is not known if the two incidents are linked at this stage.

Lots of calls to emergency services before the RAF confirmed it was a pair of their jets on a fast interception.

Explosion in Derby? How many thousands of pounds of improvements did it do?

Was out riding - heard the boom, then was sure I felt a shockwave on my back, was very strange. I assumed it was something gone wrong at the old American Adventure site where they are working.
