Space Shuttle Sonic Boom, 9/11/09

Just a clip of how the sonic boom sounded from my neck of the woods in Long Beach. The camera was pointing to nothing in particular, by the way, and that's me in the background talking to my 5-year-old son. It was his first time hearing them. If you have good speakers, turn them up and enjoy! :)

In order to capture the booms, I recorded in 1-minute segments about 5 minutes before the booms were expected. As you can see/hear between 7-8 seconds, I succeeded.

Taken with my trusty, nothing-fancy 4MP Kodak DX6490 digital camera.
