We all remember the iconic Concorde, right? voice-verified

Oh, yeah. voice-verified

It flew its last flight early in this millennium. voice-verified

I think it was 2003. voice-verified

Oh, yeah, man. voice-verified

I remember it. voice-verified

I remember being so excited. voice-verified

But such commercial planes are not allowed to fly over the land in the U.S., even if the Concorde couldn't do that. voice-verified

And that's because the sonic booms are so loud and disruptive that it could actually potentially break windows and cause minor building damage even, worst case scenario. voice-verified

But despite that, the real sonic boom problem was the chronic annoyance and the public booms. voice-verified

And I had that misconception as well. voice-verified

And that's the biggest misconception. voice-verified

But I'll go into a little bit more detail about that. voice-verified

Now, commercial supersonic flight, that's one of the sci-fi staples, right? voice-verified

I mean not one of the big boys, but it's a sci-fi staple. voice-verified

Yeah, but it existed. voice-verified

Yes, this one is extra frustrating because we already had the damn thing and now we don't. voice-verified

Bye-bye. voice-verified

See you later. voice-verified

Just a big tease. voice-verified
