Ajarn Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Somebody flew over us at a speed above 'the speed of sound'. I heard it too I grew up next to an air force base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ajarn, I grew up on an Air Force base. 10 years in a house right in front of the main runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ajarn, I grew up on an Air Force base. 10 years in a house right in front of the main runway. i do reckon however that not many planes reach the speed of sound at or near a runway.

Ulysses G. Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) The Thunderbirds and Blue Angels used to practice and do shows over that part of the base regularly. I am no expert, but I would guess that they might hit those speeds sometimes? Edited February 15, 2008 by Ulysses G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blinky Bill Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Royal Thai Air Force has squadrons of F16 aircraft. These aircraft are capable of speeds well in excess of Mach 1 (Speed of sound) at any given flying level. When they fly at speeds of Mach 1 and beyond they create a sonic boom which will break windows and cause some folks to shiit themselves if they are of weak constitution and not expecting the sudden boom. Perhaps some naughty RTAF aviator was having a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnagtegaal Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi all, It was an explosion in a House or shed between Laguna 4 and the inner road to the road of Rimping. Sorry dont know the names yet, just here. We are living on La Guna and yes there was a big blow. I couldnt see where it was coming from, but the Thai neighbours where looking arround on the motor bike, and when they where back they told me that it was someone how is always preparing the fire work bombs for the festivals. Something has gone wrong and blow up the house. Bad luck for this guy. So far I have heard there where 2 people very serious injured, not dead.

Sorry to appear obtuse --but who posted the original post? I thought Malmagician was asking about a noise and now Ajarn is saying that the explosion referred to was 'not the same sound'--same as what? Aircraft overhead, I guess.

elnagtegaal Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 If you want to see with your own house that the house is blown away than go to see it by yourselves. If you go from Rimping supermarket (direction the Ford Garage or Nissan) cross over the road by the traffic lights and take the first street to the left. Pass the first moo baan on the right and follow the way than near by the Gsm mast you will see on the right the destroyed place. That is what have been the big bang.

SamSipEt Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Perhaps fireworks for a nearby funeral ? They like to be good-and-loud, anyone know why ? I've heard that it is to alert the other spirits that another one will be arriving shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilrob Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I live about 1.5 km from Rimping (towards Carrefour) and I certainly felt the explosion. The whole house shook like a brief earthquake, although there was little noise where we are. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
