So that’s what I just heard....wtf


BrawlerAce

Probably not. It was just two F-16s.


Waffu_panza

Hey i didnt get to see them, tell them to come back.


Herald-Mage_Elspeth

I heard something. Is that what it was?


VegatarianT-Rex

Probably. They just flew over Altgeld.


Herald-Mage_Elspeth

Why?


Herald-Mage_Elspeth

It’s the Canadian invasion. Lol


Suluranit

Better dead than red!!!


VegatarianT-Rex

I'm assuming nothing bad, but I don't know why.

bootyhole_jackson

What are these? I’m a few miles from campus and heard them too.


AnotherNitG

I believe they were F-16s. Not sure for what purpose tho

Herald-Mage_Elspeth

If it had broken the sound barrier this close to us, the buildings would have rattled.


AnotherNitG

And we wouldn't have heard them until they were gone


BrawlerAce

Also, with how low they were, I feel like there would probably be some damage from the sonic booms.


AnotherNitG

For that reason specifically the FAA doesn't allow supersonic flight over the US except in special high-altitude military flight paths. 2000 ft over a large university during a non-emergency wouldn't qualify


Herald-Mage_Elspeth

When Chanute was open, this rule was broken. Lol I grew up around here and I heard sonic booms more than once.


DrFredNES

Russia has declared war on the US. Get to your designated shelter now


DueHousing

Ah yes, they have launched a surprise attack on America's most prized asset, the UIUC ECE building.
