In a post 9/11 world, especially given the random acts of terrorism that we've witnessed all over, ourselves in Boston as well.... Flyovers are scary now. I think it needs to change with the times.

I've heard some flyovers before that seemed loud, but I'm in Union Square and that was so insanely loud and I guess, relatively long lasting? That I actually started shaking, and I'm not a jumpy person by any means. I've never felt a physical reaction to a sound like that before. It was wild!

Google the definition of PTSD you ignorant child

Nah that was today… this post is from yesterday. Sounded more like an explosion near central

Flyovers have always been a bad idea, but after 9/11 they became downright terrible.

So you’re new to downtown Cambridge/Boston then? The flyovers are much louder if you’re at close range to the “target”. Much more so than if you’re several miles away.

If you were out, how did you know your pets were mortified? Did they text you or tell you about it when you got home? My dogs don’t love the flyovers, but they’re so brief it’s not a big deal. A thunderstorm is much more traumatic for the dog who is sensitive to such things.

Around Boston area. All the flyovers for Gillette went straight over the house I grew up in. I also lived in a town with an active air wing that would practice every day, and worked at an airport for several years. This was different, at least in my experience.

What recent news?

When you say ‘the area’, are we talking in Cambridge or elsewhere in eastern MA? Loud flyovers happen severs times a year here (in Cambridge/Boston), and have as long as I can remember.

I don't know man. It was loud and sudden and it scared us. I've lived in the area my whole life and worked around planes, it's not usually that loud. When my brain hears "sudden extremely loud ass noise" it doesn't rationalize what it is it just thinks maybe some kind of explosion, especially with all recent news.

How long have you lived in Cambridge? This happens several times every year (Red Sox opening day, Boston Marathon, various special events). Part of city life.

Where do you think jet fighters would be attacking from? A Chinese aircraft carrier that approached the coast undetected? Canada? Think about it. I do see how it could be startling if you are new to the area.

I always recommend if you can go through Oxford realty on Mass Ave either through Jeff or Jackie. Two phenomenal people. All the times I've rented in Cambridge never steered me wrong. To have anything fixed anything like that was within reason.

I appreciate jets and all, I come from a background in the aviation/aerospace industry. I know it was planned and on record, but I just don't understand why it needed to be so low and fast. It seemed a bit much from someone who has seen many other flyovers. I don't need to have "psychic powers" to come home minutes later and find my cat shaking, or poll my neighborhood as many others out and about were visibly upset and confused. This just shouldn't be something that's done this way.

I come from a background of aviation and I do think jets are interesting and all, I am more just saying this seemed crazier than what I've seen in other flyovers, and I'm unsure why they approved it to be so low and fast (and therefore loud). I'm sure it was on record and I've now seen it reported in many articles, but I didn't see that beforehand and it was unexpected. I don't have to have "psychic powers" to come home and find my cat terrified and jumpy, and I don't have to poll my whole neighborhood to see many other startled people on the street with me didn't exactly appreciate it.

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.

It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.

Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.

Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

I think it had to do with the flyover earlier today for the winter classic. that shit was loud and they flew those f15s so god damn low. a warning would of been nice.

If we had, either it would be very obvious by all the buildings falling over, or you would already be dead.
