that's fake as! Dumbasses would only believe that. Everybody knows that a sonic boom is 2 yellow blades spinning round really fast.

:unsure:

Interesting shot you have there........but where was the guy when he took it? That shot looks like he's almost at the same level as the plane........if he was on the ground the angle would be different, sorta like aiming up?

Lemme look at the plane pic again.

Edit: Yeah it looks like he's on the same level as the plane. Weird :unsure:

Well, if you read the article, it says the plane was flying past an aircraft carrier at a level of 75 feet. :p

75 feet... Good God, that must've been loud as hell.

Light is much faster than sound... so if he clicked when he heard the boom, he would have been too late... :unsure:

I doubt if it's true...

Canyarion, light may be faster than sound, but you have to remember that things must occur for the effect to be seen, such as:

Light will only emit from the cloud once it has appeared. The sound would be on its way just before the cloud appears.

If it was faked, then it wouldn't have fooled so many people, and definately wouldn't have taken first prize in the science and technology division in the World Press Photo 2000 contest.

cool

Ok... sorry I guess I should have read the article first :-o :D

Cool pic!

When I went to an Air show last year, the navy blue angels were there, and they said they flew as low as 60 feet or something like that on one pass...very cool...very loud, but very cool. And then this other time they criss-crossed right overhead at speeds of 500 MPH...twas...neato...

And then they had like the fastest land truck in da world...twas this truck that resembled a semi without the back, and it made all these flames just for show, then it got ready to go really fast...and at first it didnt look like it was going that fast, then all of a sudden these jet booster things fired out the back...and it took off like nothing ive ever seen. Over 300mph if I remember correctly.

Yes, 60 feet must've been loud, but seeing as how it was at 500 MpH, rather than actually breaking sound, I'm sure it'd be hard to imagine the ear-shattering noise O_o.
