If you’re in DC area and you live to hear a boom, then it’s not nearly as bad as you thought it might be. It’s the boom you don’t live to hear that you need to worry about.
It was only a matter of time before it came here...
It’s the biden legacy crashing around his head.

Kids have never heard a sonic boom.

Small Plane Flies Over DC No-Fly Zone — Fighter Jets Scrambled — Plane Crashes in Rural Virginia
“Dozens of people ...”
Pretty much audible across three states to anyone exhibiting life signs. Adequately describes the attention level of Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland.
Way to pay attention people ....
Could this just be the sonic boon from the fighter aircraft sent to pursue the other unauthorized aircraft over DC?
Wasn’t there’s balloon that did something similar?
I dunno…the only chance that America has to survive is if D.C. suddenly disappeared, somehow.
I live in Southern Anne Arundel County MD, about 20 miles south of Annapolis. I remember about 3:30 hearing something. I thought it was a truck slamming its back door (OK, my hearing’s not the best). But my cat freaked out. He had been sleeping on the sofa next to me and jumped off, staring wide-eyed at the front door.
I looked at him and said “What the heck’s wrong with you? It’s just a truck!” I didn’t think much of it. That must have been it.
This is most likely due to the F16 pursuit of the errant Cessna (which crashed in Virginia) after flying over the restricted air space of DC.
The plane (1990 Cessna Citation BizJet) technically did not violate the “Washington, DC Metropolitan Area Special Flight Rules Area”...(plane was at FL340 when it passed over D.C. the 1st time, and the “D.C. SFRA” ends at FL180). The solo/single pilot was not in comms with ATC after the mystery U-turn at 34,000 feet over the L.I. NY destination airport and heading back towards the D.C. area a 2nd time. This suspicious behavior not on the flight plan probably caused the F-16 scramble and sonic boom. The autopilot was probably headed back towards the point of origin given that it didn’t land at the intended destination airport “ISP”...repeating the programmed waypoints back towards TN until the fuel was exhausted then spiraled in. Possible pilot incapacitation (medical or cabin pressure loss, etc.)...like the Payne Stewart incident mentioned earlier in the thread.

It was the rare sound caused by a DC Politician putting money BACK into the pockets of Taxpayers?
*SNORT*
we heard it in Stafford but certainly was not “earth shaking” out here.
good thing Christie didn’t fall like Biden or it would still be shakin’
I have heard that the family were friends of Trump and that they gave lots of money to his campaign. But I don’t know if any of that is true.
Latest reports is F16 pilot looked in the cockpit and saw the pilot slumped over. This means there was no pressurization malfunction , otherwise inside of cabin would be same temp as outside, and windows would have iced over.
Confirmed, the 69 year old pilot had his covid shot.
Nothing to see here, just another sudden death.
