  So, you kids don't know much about aeronautics or fluid dynamics. That's OK... The vapor cone is called a Prandtl–Glauert condensate. It frequently occurs around fighter jets, missiles, & rockets like the Space Shuttle, as they approach the sound barrier. However, vapor cones can form at much lower speeds with the right combination of humidity, barometric pressure, & surface area. In fact, these NEVER occur during actual supersonic speed, because the water droplets could never catch up. The

  he wasn't even close: to breaking the sound barrier. He wasn't going nearly fast enough.

  I served on this ship: I was actually serving on the John Paul Jones shortly after this happened and new a friend of the guy who shot this video. The pilot ejected and was rescued by the search and rescue team almost immediately. The jet was an F-14 Tomcat and what I understand, one of the afterburners malfunctioned, causing the engine to essentially explode.

  I think: It may be to do with the turn. They broke the sound barrier then proceeded to turn, maybe then something came loose. Just my input.

  dead?: Maybe when something goes wrong with a plane like that, it ejects automatically whether the pilot is concious or not. So it's possible he ejected but didn't survive. I don't know what the chances of surviving an ejection from a cockpit is when you're going that fast but they wouldn't disintegrate. There is a chance he lived.

    @Mosh2k2RETARD: dude, you're retarded, you only break the speed of sound ONCE, it doesn't happen multiple times, idiot! It's like when you're accelerating in a car, you hit 50 mph and continue on to 55, then 60....unless you slow down and speed back up again, there is only ONE point where you begin to go faster than the speed of sound. When you pass that speed it doesn't happen again...DUH

    @Mosh2k2unless you slow down again,: which if that plane is going head on into the wind just might be possible to break the sound barrier multiple times

  Anyone notice the tracers: Take a closer look. Looks like someone is shooting at this f-14. It's most obvious around the 14-15 second mark. Looks like three tracers from something far off...maybe another ship.

  look at ejection-history.org: Both pilots ejected and survived with burns. The pilots took off from USS Lincoln and the engines exploded right after they passed the sound barrier.

    @n00bfactor19.: f-14 arn't supposed to fly that fast when in combat, at that speed they cannot manuever plus it puts a lot of strain on the pilot

  also: what you've just seen isn't the plane breaking sound barrier. It was a mechanical engine failure.
