Rio Tinto has been forced to get on the front foot after large sections of Perth heard a loud explosion this afternoon.
Social media has been ripe with speculation that the boom could’ve been anything from an earthquake to Singaporean fighter jets and yes, perhaps even Rio up to their old tricks.
A spokesperson for the mining giant probably told The Times,
“All sacred caves are accounted for and we had nothing to do with the explosion this time. Rio Tinto is committed to blowing up less caves this year”
We will have to await official reporting on what the boom actually was but for now we’ll just have to take Rio at their word.
Further potential causes have been identified including: your mum was feeling gassy, a Commodore just got a fresh racing stripe painted on and, of course, a Scabs turbo dropped his weights at Fitness First after his latest Tren hit.
If you know of a sacred cave that is now in millions of pieces, please contact authorities.
