Scope and Contents

The federal program testing public reaction to sonic booms in Oklahoma City has resulted in explosive complaints from residents. People have reported physical discomfort, property damage, and even a broken bra strap due to the booms. One man working with dynamite is tired of taking aspirin to cope with the noise. Some residents believe the booms will drive fish too deep in nearby lakes. Despite canceling boom flights due to weather, complaints continue to be received.
