How cool is it to break the sound barrier? THAT cool!

The sound barrier is the speed at which a vehicle need to fly/run in order to beat the speed of sound (1,236 kilometres per hour or 768 mph at sea level, via wiki ). And it looks pretty darn awesome, let me add. UPDATE: What you see in the video above is the compression wave that occurs at transonic speeds , from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.0. The aircraft doesn’t break the sound barrier so close to the viewers. In airshows and so close to people it is not allowed. During 1950s the sound barrier has been definitely defeated by human.
