Spooky. There’s an initial sound of the implosion and then a couple steady beats from echos from the implosion. These beats almost sound like heartbeats.

Wait until you find out what the a-bomb testing did to people.

Your friends ain’t lying to you. All of these are good practices to follow when driving on wet roads.
