Anyone heard anything about this. Someone just called and said that there was a large explosion in Kuwait according to Al-Rai TV.
Update: False alarm. According to the latest breaking news report on Al Rai TV, it was just a military plane that broke the sound barrier while traveling really low. Picture below shows the breaking news report.

What was a military plane doing flying too low and breaking the sound barrier over what i was told Al Jahra residential area .. ?
Don’t the military have specially designated air space where they do all there military exercises?
ZzzZZzz
Maybe they are practicing for kuwait national day. If you remember a few years back, they had a few fighter planes flying very low past souq sharq, and all the traffic and celebrations on gulf raod.
The “specially designated air space” you are talking about is all of Kuwait
when they know how to use thier planes?
