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!

It shook my house near 466A and Buena Vista.

This happened in SoCal back in the days when the space shuttle was flying. Two sonic booms in quick succession as it entered earth’s atmosphere. Sometimes we were aware it was coming, sometimes not, but we always knew what it was when it happened. Life in the space age.

Wow. This is one of the top ten ridiculous complaints I have seen on this site. Maybe you should have investigated more thoroughly before relocating here

Just a bit more detail...

The SpaceX Crew Dragon was returning from the International Space Station.

Its entry groundtrack took it from SW to NE across Mexico and Florida, with splashdown off the coast of Daytona.

The spacecraft was returning the AX-3 private astronaut crew following a two-week mission.

This ascending entry created the opportunity for sonic booms over our area as it slowed below the speed of sound heading toward the desired splashdown zone.

NASA and Axiom Space have an agreement to fly commercial (private) astronaut missions to and from the Station about once a year when it doesn't interfere with ongoing 24/7 operations.

NASA requires the Commander of the four-person mission to be a former flown NASA astronaut. The other seats can be sold to crew members approved by the partnership.

Axiom is working on designs for a commercial space station that eventually could among several that NASA uses for scientific research after the ISS is retired and deorbited safely over the Pacific at the end of its useful lifetime.

What can I say? High stakes MahJongg game with the ladies the night before….

We heard the boom also here in Fenney

sonic boom of the crew coming back from space station

I wonder what that sounds and feels like from within the object making the sonic boom?

Sonic boom as Space X returned

Forgot. They hear nothing as there is no sound in space.

Why isn’t there any sound in space? An astronomer explains why in space no one can hear you scream
