No, the Boston-area was not beneath assault Monday afternoon.
But for a couple of minutes, some residents — together with their pets — have been freaked out and questioning what on the planet was happening above them.
“Um, did a fighter jet just do a flyover in Somerville, MA? Or Boston? Or if not, anyone know what that sound was?” Greg M. Epstein wrote on Twitter.
“Whatever sound that was in the skies over Cambridge or Boston a minute ago, it was fast and low,” Juliette Kayyem, a nationwide safety professional, tweeted. “That was some military plane but no idea what or why.”
The depraved loud, intense sound was from the F-15 jet flyover for the NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park. The Boston Bruins beat the Pittsburgh Penguins Monday afternoon.
“There was indeed a F-15 jet flyover from the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard prior to the start of the Bruins hockey game at Fenway Park,” Cambridge Police tweeted.
Residents reported the jets being decrease and far louder than throughout earlier flyovers.
“Literally almost had a heart attack,” a Twitter consumer wrote. “But definitely flyover for winter classic I can see Fenway out my window.”
Another particular person wrote, “That was the loudest I have ever heard them. My heart is still racing.”
Kayyem tweeted, “We’ve had flyovers before but that was like nothing I’ve ever heard before. Crazy.”
