    Everyone in the Seattle heard 2 booms about an hour ago. Turns out an unidentified air craft was flying around Seattle, and the president is there. So they send 2 f-15 fighter jets from Portland that made it there in 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Created 2 sonic booms. Jets were traveling 1850 mph.

    Broken windows, moved furniture and scared the shit out of all those coffee drinkin, birkenstock wearin, capri pant wearin, granola eatin libs.

    apparently it just a little float plane going from Lake Chelan to Lake Washington that had no idea it was restricted air space or that the President was in town.

    Oh you heard it in Portland too?

    I heard them both. Freaking LOUD! I went outside to check and make sure a car hadn't hit the side of my building or something. Then I checked for smoke billowing in the surrounding area and saw nothing.

    I heard them at about 1:30PM. Crazy.

    I read about it on Oregonlive, they didn't identify what the noise was though. Then my friend who is a car dealer in Seattle told me about it on FB. Not sure where he got the information, but it sounds legit to me.

    west seattle blog had a bunch about it. Seattle Times clueless, as usual..."F-16s" that aren't stationed at PANG. It's pretty easy...F-15 has 2 vertical stabilizers (tails), F-16 has one.
