My Safe Search is off and it brings up some interesting results for me.

That's a news result though, they don't count when it stops us from reaching number 1.

I'm hoping some videos will get uploaded to youtube.

Can't believe people are making a fuss about a sonic boom

 

[Liquid]

I'm blaming the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo for this.

It's a conspiracy. Just wait until someone's pacemaker is remotely shut down.

mp10, props on your avatar mate.

I doubt anyone would know that this was going to happen and therefore they might have not had a camera with them to record the sound.

Can't believe people are making a fuss about a sonic boom

Because sonic booms are really LOUD and I think the last thing people want on their Easter holidays is a very loud noise that they don't want.

Apparently a lot of people thought it was a nuclear explosion!

Nobody knew it was a sonic boom when it happened though. It was heard across a really wide area and a few people I know really felt it hit them, it shook parts of their houses. That's enough to freak anyone out!

You'd know if it was a nuclear explosion. Vaporization is the first sign to look for.

Living fairly near a place that has twice had loud explosions most people don't make a big deal about it unless they see fire balls. And once we saw fire balls...

Don't pilots train over Wales a lot though? They're always at it whenever I'm there! We never have anything like that around the Midlands, so you can imagine that people would get fairly freaked out by it.

We get a lot of Hawk trainers that are quite quiet, and the EF and Tornados too. But by far the loudest I've head is F15 Eagles doing a dozen or so passes over Pembrey Range while I was sat on the beach across the estuary.

However, none of that compares to staring down the tail pipe of an F16 on afterburner at RIAT.

Being a North Walian, I've witnessed and heard flyovers from military jets in my time, but nothing that was so loud it was heard for tens of miles away or shook doors.

 

[Slash]

This is the actual cause. Typhoon Jets caused sonic booms while flying over the area.

Wow I was ninja'd.

The bang in Coventry was Cat Bin lady driving a bus into a pawnbrokers to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the FA Cup win

from twitter

That makes zero sense to us Americans. But luckily, Google helped out a lot:

Cat bin lady:


The police ended up advising her on self protection when the video went viral; someone found out her name and address and people threatened to kill her.

I think a car just backfired in my street.

Should I call the MoD about it?

Did everyone in the surrounding county hear it?

Guess what? That means more advertisment to GTPlanet, and that means more money for Jordan (if people become a member of course) !

And if you got here through Google, welcome to ! Enjoy your stay .

Mandy Leech, 44, from Coventry, added: "If it was just somebody accidentally pressing a button in his helicopter I won't be very happy because it woke my baby up and scared the life out of me."

BOO-SODDING-HOO. Babies wake at anything. Yes, a sonic boom is probably unpleasant to hear in the middle of the day, and I'm sure the helicopter pilot will get a rollocking for pressing the wrong button, but you have to be pretty selfish to complain like that about the result of a simple accident.

 

[Zenith]

There seems to be a very popular misconception out there that there is a sonic boom that occurs as a plane breaks the sound barrier. Like a boom that the plane emits as it crosses over into supersonic speeds.

It's not like an explosion. It's like wake of a boat.

Maybe I'm not giving the masses enough credit though...

 

[TheCracker]

Midlanders have only quite recently stopped pointing at airplanes seen in the skies above them. A sonic boom is still well beyond their comprehension.

 

[Sureboss]

I'm surprised Midlanders aren't used to the sound of explosions.
