What caused such a powerful noise early today?
In an unexpected event this morning, a military fighter jet stationed at the Air Base Memmingerberg broke the sound barrier, causing a series of sound events rather than a single bang. This phenomenon was felt and heard across several cities and municipalities in the Rhine-Main region.
As soon as the aircraft exceeded the speed of sound, a Mach cone formed behind it. Where the Mach cone skimmed the ground, people heard a loud bang, accompanied by a noticeable pressure wave that caused some to report shaking windows and vibrating walls.
The public is informed that there is no cause for concern regarding the supersonic flight over the Rhine-Main region. The air force has emphasized that such bangs are not dangerous, despite their ability to fray nerves. The sound strip generated by a supersonic flight can affect a large area, potentially reaching up to 80 kilometers in width.
Government representatives are available for questions about the supersonic flight over the Rhine-Main region. They confirmed that the speed of the jet during supersonic flight was over 1,200 kilometers per hour.
Those who were startled this morning in the Rhine-Main region were not alone. Around 10 a.m., the air in the region trembled, causing a deafening phenomenon that was heard simultaneously by many.
The air force jet's supersonic flight generated a sound strip that, while potentially nerve-wracking, does not pose a danger. The supersonic flight does not release the immense air pressure in a single bang but instead does so in a series of sound events.
In light of the event, the government urges the public to remain calm and assured, emphasizing that such occurrences are rare and carefully monitored by the relevant authorities.
