They should change the laws of physics for your convenience???

About the same as a loud clap of thunder. Actually, thunder can be louder and almost always lasts longer.

I miss the occasional sonic boom. I used to enjoy them.

They can find a more remote place to land, Marshall Islands comes to mind.

And if you like the sound, you can listen to sonic booms all you like, on your headphones - they make them sound like 3 D these days.

Seriously??? Instead of recovering 4 astronauts 100 miles off the coast of Florida, we should dump them in the Pacific 8,000 miles away???? And what does anyone have against Marshall Islanders that they would "gift" them with the sonic boom instead?

So we get “gifted” with a sonic boom instead? A few people in the Pacific vs a million on the Florida coast.

I was at Hacienda Hills (Palms) and did not hear it. Greens were very nice though.

So what?

Please elaborate how this sonic boom that was about 1/4 as loud as a close lightning strike harmed anyone or anything???? Maybe I'm indifferent to it having grown up on Long Island near Grumman Aerospace---these "booms" were a weekly occurrence in the sixties.

Possibly around the Calverton flight test facility. But any supersonic flights would have been over the Atlantic ocean, south of the Long Island. Personal experience talking. I was there for most of the F-14 development.

So what. Who cares. A little boom at 8:30 in the morning.

Who do you sue when the boom causes a heart attack, accident, or a surgical accident, ending in death? Really. Who ya gonna call? Inquiring minds want to know!
Morgan and Morgan. For the people.

I don’t think so because at Mallory I never feel or hear the quarry blasts. I think it was Ax-3 return. I am not at all pleased to wake up to a European commercial flight’s sonic boom.
Asleep at 8:25?
