Maybe so, but still true, nonetheless. It just gets pretty old, when someone posts something, and 30 people post their little remarks, asserting that someone is unoriginal, all the while, being completely unoriginal themselves.

If you want to be logical (which is extremely difficult for some of you) those of you who say things like this:

Hey you know you could post everything you see for the first time, then we could all share in your joy!

should probably consider the obvious flaw in ridiculing this person because they have never seen it before.

I just think you sissies could find something better to whine about, really.

very very cool clip.

btw can anyone explain why the air around the plane does that when it breaks the sound barrier?

Grasshopper, like everyone else here, I have memorized the internet, so if you could please refrain from posting anything unless it new that day, I'd appreciate it.

man, that is cool..

I could swear I heard it tho . . . it roar by, and i was thinking wth is he talking about no sound for . . . . .?

Then I realized my speakers were off . . . and that you wouldn't hear a plane over the mach 1 as it was approaching you . .. . . . .. just a big booom after it passes.

Man, I love big booms.

I wanted to see all the people fall over. I was dissappointed in that regard.

That jet did not break the sound barrier...

Look again at the location of the wave. An excellent explanation of normal shockwaves. You don't want to be that close to a jet when it is going supersonic.
