Up to 10 to the 39th ergs of elastic energy might be released in a neutron star crustquake. The sound waves produced by such a quake will transform into a shock near the surface owing to the dramatic decrease in density. A thin surface layer will then be blown off radiating gamma-rays. The temporal structure and spectrum of such an event are discussed and some future observational tests are suggested.
