Interesting; I heard a Sonic Boom in the Los Angeles area Last Monday.
I am eagerly awaiting the official comments on this...

The marines are claiming that the plane is theirs (according to the 10news report). They are on their way to the scene to determine if it is an f-15 or f-18, and i am assuming to start their investigation.

We have untold occasions of this happening day in and day out with commercial aircraft. For the most part though no one really thinks about it because it is something that we on the ground cannot control.
I would be more worried about a commercial jet falling from the sky personally. I think we have more of them in the air at one time and they are much larger and can cause more damage (assuming the military jets are unarmed or carrying light arms). I am surprised we don’t hear about this more often though with any form of jet considering the number that are in flight every day.

It seem like the pilot stayed with it trying to bring it in until the last possible second when the aircraft became completely uncontrollable - just what I'd expect from a Marine
