New York Earthquake: Banjo Real Time Results

In case you’ve been under a rock all day – Rumors are swirling that a Hollywood power couple have called it quits. If that wasn’t enough to rock your world, there was a 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Virginia that shimmied through the East Coast; wreaking havoc throughout the streets of New York City.

Penn Station resembled a “Thriller” Flash Mob in action, Lincoln Tunnel traffic was at a horrific standstill. Inevitably, Lincoln and Holland tunnels closed post quake.

Cellular networks were congested after the earthquake but that didn’t stop the social media buzz. One Lincoln tunnel passenger tweeted, “Been through the Lincoln Tunnel hundreds of time, never been nervous about it until just now, and never been happier to see Jersey. #whew.”

Banjo was able to target responses of the earthquake in real time by searching addresses throughout the effected areas.
