Space Shuttle Brings Sonic Boom

Many people accross Southern California reported feeling an earthquake shortly before 12:45 pm (west coast time). As it turns out the culprit was not an earthquake, it in fact was the expected sonic boom caused by the return of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.

The shuttle was expected to land in Florida, but due to bad weather the landing was changed to Edwards Air Force Base in the Southern California desert.

The shuttle's path to the base took it over San Diego and Los Angeles before landing smoothly at 12:49 pm.
