Not only that, but Concorde was banned from many routes because of the sonic boom. The problem is still there. I agree, it doesn’t make any sense..

According to the video, the sonic boom will only happen in the vertical period of the flight where it will go out horizontally to the ground and not effect others...............

Above 50,000 feet not an issue as the pressure wave dissipates well before hitting the ground. Sub-sonic flight required over land, not over the ocean. Now, I've flown mach over the water at 5,000 feet, no issues, fun. Flown mach over land, too, and much lower in areas where there is no speed restriction. . .fun to watch the shock-wave ‘puff’ over ponds. . .
