Oh what a day!We were present at the peal ringing event at the Queen's Tower today that marked the Commemoration day here at Imperial College.
The atmosphere was incredible and the show spectacular (not to mention very loud).
Unfortunately our first attempt at recording the sway of the tower has been compromised due to our fear of securing the sensors too tight - and breaking them. We underestimated the force of the building and the sensors were loose which produced no usable results. But this was part of our purpose of the visit, to identify where we must deploy our sensors and which methods should be used.
On the bright side, the tower was swaying a lot - actually one of the team's member complained about being sea-sick! - and hopefully we will be able to produce solid results in our upcoming trials.
We took a few pictures of the event, which can be found in this flickr image set, and we have also managed to take a couple of videos.
