Sonic booms and things that make me tingle

So I am new to this blogging thing and I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. I am not a very talented writer, nor do I get very retrospective...but I do like some cool shit. So in the spirit of the things I was looking at this evening, I would like to dedicate this post to sonic booms.

Back in 1997 I remember seeing this CNN clip of this car that broke the land speed record. It totally amazed me when I hear this massive engine getting closer and louder as it approached the camera then...KABLAOUUUU!!! A goddamn sonic boom. The footage was equally impressive with the heat from the Moab sand creating a neat reflective mirage.


Anyhow...this got me excited and eager to see more sonic booms...so here are a few youtube videos that made me tingle...
