Answer to the loud rolling booming noise
Marine Cobra helicopter crash kills two
The helicopter, from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing based at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, went down about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday night, said Marine Maj. Jay de la Rosa. The squadron was training with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit out of Camp Pendleton and is scheduled to deploy this fall to the Western Pacific.
It had ammo onboard.
Probably one of the largest crash sounds I heard was in 1978 here in San Diego when 2 1/2 miles E. from me an airliner
with over 140 onboard crashed into a neighborhood.
It sounded and felt like a huge bomb went off.
How sad. Thanks for the report SoCalPol.
Thanks for the pings Civ.
How sad. However the report doesn’t fit the time of the boom. I heard it at approx 7:45-7:50 pm pacific time. Even if this was a report coming out of the pentagon and they forgot to correct for the time zone, they would have said the crash happened at 10:45. Hmmmmmm
