Paris rattled by sonic boom from military jet: French police
PARIS, Sept 30, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – A huge noise that panicked residents of
Paris on Wednesday was caused by a sonic boom as a military jet broke the
speed of sound, police in the French capital said.
“A very loud noise was heard in Paris and in the Paris region. It was
not an explosion, it was a fighter jet crossing the sound barrier,” Paris
police said on their Twitter account, urging people to stop calling emergency
phone lines.
