NextImg:BREAKING: The ‘explosion’ that shook the ground in DC explained with statement from NORAD

Earlier today there was rumor about an ‘explosion’ in Washington DC after residents there felt the ground shake after hearing a loud boom.

But it turns out there was no explosion at all. NORAD just issued this statement explaining what happened:

Twitter truncated the statement but here it is below:

So it was a sonic boom that shook the ground as this F-16 flew to intercept the unresponsive cessna. I honestly had no idea a sonic boom could do that. The F-16 must’ve been pretty low to the ground.

While I hate that the pilot died, I am very glad the incident wasn’t something more malicious.
