### - was just sitting there tapping-away at my little computer around
4am, totally absorbed in what was doing, and suddenly it was like some
kind of pressure-wave hit every window in the house simultaneously lol...
WHACK!
no boom or rumble of thunder, which was then kinda expecting, just this almighty 'slap' outta nowhere that am surprised didn't at least crack one
of the panes in the windows! wtf??
turns out, some small postal-carrier plane flying over central london, had apparently lost contact with the ground and so didn't respond to then increasingly urgent calls from flight tower controllers, who then
apparently scrambled a couple of jet fighters to intercept & identify the
damn thing?
having apparently being given permission to make all-haste to go-make the interception, they accordingly then broke the sound barrier in the process
and that's what everyone heard or rather: felt?
such is the official version anyhow, but have never heard a sonic-boom
quite like that before (there was no boom?) and have personally heard
concord doing one a couple of times before that was defo more boom than crash...
made me look up for a few moments in surprise anyway haha!
it was so quiet here at the time i nearly jumped outta' my skin lol...
HUH???
:))))
