sonic boom - sweet
 

For those who don't know, a sonic boom is the bang you hear when a jet plane breaks the sound barrier.

and for those who have seen this 10 years ago - Iam so happy for you -

Ok folks, for all of you who have never personally seen the sound barrier, feast your eyes on the pictures.

Actual photos of the sound barrier

This phenomenon only happens at the instant an
Aircraft breaks the sound barrier

And it literally appears like the aircraft goes through a wall.

I hope you find these pictures as fascinating as I did. only 10 years later than others and it is a snopes re post i guess as well -- jz

thats pretty awesome, i was watchin a new episode of mythbusters a few weeks ago and they loaded up something with a ****load of explosives and and then they detonated it and like a second or 2 later adam (who was like a mile away for safety reasons) was like here comes the boom! and you could actually see it ripple it was pretty sick

cool any way to see that on video....

heres a better one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_nIV-cks7w

you can hear it but cant see it in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f756vzaL63w

damn i guesss i've deprived myself for the last 10 years.....i've never seen it before. very cool !!!

i was watching a video that showed the damage that a sonic boom did to a building. it blew out a window and cracked various things

awesome......

its also guile's special attack in street fighter 2... sonic booooooom!!!

that is cool as hell

i wanna go see one now... thast awesome!

is it sad that that was the first thing that came to my mind upon seeing this thread?



very cool nonetheless

gotta wonder what it's like sitting in the plane while breaking the sound barrier

you cant tell it even happened -- all the pilots know the speed so can show yu if weather is right ( water vapor % ) - JZ

regulation will no longer allow planes to reach sonic boom below a certain altititude because of the damage they can do! but a cool thing to go see is the air plane races i forgetthe name of the event but is in Reno Nevada the palnes get just on the verge of braking the sound barrier!
