My whole apartment building panicked and thought it was an earthquake. I guess no one reads the morning news feeds.I heard the booms, and knew where they were headed, so I went out onto my apartment balcony, and saw the shuttle gliding north east of Sherman Oaks, parallel to the 405 North.

At that moment I checked the flight path and saw that it was coming over the Pacific straight over CA. So I read that it will land around 1:25PM and that Orange County residents might hear the twin sonic booms. My friend and I pulled into an IHOP parking lot to meet up with another coworker for a bite to eat. We got out of the car around 1:18PM. He went into the restaurant and I waited outside to listen out for the booms determined that I will hear. A couple minutes passed and BOOM BOOM! I screamed and noticed the restaurant windows shook too. A costumer outside waiting with me asked of course what was that and I explained it was indeed a space shuttle landing at the Edwards base. Surprisingly he replied oh its breaking the sound barrier. I smiled and nodded yes. Walked in the IHOP asking if my friends if they had heard the booms. Both said yes and asked me if that was what I had been waiting to hear. DUH I replied with a huge grin on my face. In conclusion Inglewood residents heard the booms too. ... MORE >
