Blast vs. Thunder

Posted by pelf in Faces of Terengganu

And I thought this was thunder! :confused:

No wonder a journalist friend of mine called to ask whether I was OK. When people were running out of buildings and what-nots, I was at home, sitting comfortably in front of my computer!

Updated: So apparently, the mysterious blast turned out to be sonic boom!

    What a mysterious thing to happen in Malaysia. A blast and don’t know where it comes from?

    Psst, actually, it is my alien friend which has mislanded in Kuala Terengganu, I have asked “it” to look for you so that you could help “it” out.

    Thanks. :P

    Since when did we start getting sonic booms in Malaysia? I think I missed out the news as well.

    Sonic Boom-a phenomena where the aircraft fly passes the speed of sound, Mach 1. But i’ve yet to find out what will happen when it passes twice the speed of sound, Mach 2. Double boom?

    Note to reporters,

    DO NOT CALL MY SISTER TO CONFIRM AN INCIDENT because to her, a blast is equal to a thunder.

    Remember that!! WUakakaka

    I could not imagine how it happens. I would not have ran out unless I could locate the direction of sound

  10. pelf Posted on November 25th, 2007 at 10:08 pm

    Actually, I didn’t know where that sound came from! It sounded just like, err, thunder, BAAM! That’s all. But I guess a lot of people rushed out of buildings because they felt the tremors. I didn’t, you see :D

    Oh, my. A full 10,000 meters above sea level and the boom was still strong enough to shake buildings? That can’t be good for the health!

    Oh, and did you read that last sentence? Somebody said that “The exercises are being carried out in the interest of the nation” (gulps!).

    The exercises are being carried out in the interest of the nation

    Well,if this is the case, then why do the public don’t even know about this matter until it was highlighted? Ironic, ehh? :secret:

    Gosh, too bad I miss all the ‘fun’ over there, dai kah cher~
