> ... had engines so loud, and i mean insanely loud they would not be popular these days. I remember covering my ears as it flew overhead.

I lived near Heathrow and Concorde was such a thing of beauty that the noise, if anything, just added to the spectacle!

Haha I personally would love it, but I cannot imagine car alarms going off would be tolerated on a daily basis! Great video if thats yours. On the flip side, I think about how we have tornado siren tests every week at 3p, and my office tower is immediately adjacent to a fire station with the siren on the rooftop blasting at my window for 2 minutes a week, we have to mute conference calls and whatnot during the test... its just a part of life.. I mean, surely they could test those things every month during tornado season and be just fine.
