This guy captures an F14 breaking the sound barrier at the moment it flys overhead.

Did you know that he didn't break the sound barrier at that exact moment, but was breaking it continuously? See the wave? That is "sound being pushed", and the boom comes when the wave hits you.

He just tore the sound barrier a new A-hole
awesome

It has already broken the barrier. The sound you hear is just the wave passing you. A guy 500m further heard the same thing

I have no idea why they didn't focus on Guile doing his Sonic Boom instead of that plane

The flash of sound you heard in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

The speed of sound is equal to or equivalently described as the speed with which information may transfer throughout the medium. Temperature, Pressure, and other scalar properties of fluids may not exhibit dynamic effects through the medium faster than that medium's speed of sound. Sound is a pressure effect, and that wave you see is actually a highly pressurized surface created by the motion of the aircraft and how it affects the air.
@ManBearPig916You lost me at who gives a shit.

How surprising that the boom just happened to occur right when it was overhead. /sarcasm

Afaik sonic booms trail behind supersonic planes all the time... it's just that you only experience it for a short second when it flies by/overhead.

Someone may have already pointed this out, but a sonic boom does not occur in only one precise spot. It actually continuous for as long as the airplane exceeds the speed of sound (roughly 761mph). It's not that he captured the boom at the precise moment... this is just the sound of the boom passing by the cameraman. Sonic booms are created when an object travels so fast that it compresses sound waves in front of it so tightly that they cannot "get out of the way" fast enough and become compressed into one

Finally, a video that had a slow-mo replay that was actually necessary.
