 Sonic boom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The "boom" is experienced when there is a sudden rise in pressure, so the N-wave causes two booms, one when the initial pressure rise from the nose hits, and another when the tail passes and the pressure suddenly returns to normal.
Since the boom is being generated continually as long as the aircraft is supersonic, it traces out a path on the ground following the aircraft's flight path, known as the boom carpet.
In contrast to the (super)sonic boom of an aircraft, this "tunnel boom" is caused by a rapid change of subsonic flow (from the sudden narrowing of the surrounding space) rather than by a shock wave.

Although the next two episodes comprise the two-part conclusion to this amazing first series of new Doctor Who, there's a sense of impending finality in "Boom Town" as a plethora of plot threads from previous episodes are drawn together in a single installment that is far more compelling than it has any right to be.
"Boom Town" is mostly a series of long dialogue scenes exploring the relationships between the regulars and the Doctor - as well as the Doctor's role in the universe - but oh, what nice conversations they are.
Ultimately, "Boom Town" has as its greatest virtue a thought-provoking rumination on the wake the Doctor leaves behind when the monsters are defeated and the TARDIS dematerializes, but it sacrifices a bit of plot and logic to get there.

One of the shortcomings of hip-hop culture is that it often fails to honor its heritage.
Chief among the icons who shouldn't be counted out: KRS-One, who comes to Metro tonight as part of a historically minded bill dubbed "Return of the Boom Baps," which also features hip-hop innovators Brand Nubian.
But his passionate rapping never lost its edge, and from his killer 1993 solo album, "Return of the Boom Bap," through "Keep Right," he has continued to call for a return to the idealism and political values that have been lost as hip-hop has evolved and become one of the dominant forces in popular music.

 Boom Town (1940)
It's a two-star movie with a four-star cast—Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, and Hedy Lamarr, back before the latter supposedly "lost her looks." The great cast gets the chemistry right, but otherwise has little to work with in John Lee Mahin's screenplay, which is all about oil but not too slick.
It's a story about going boom and bust ad nauseam in the oil business, but the implausibility of it would work much better if the thing were a straight comedy.
But, after going on the lam and saving up some dough in a string of other towns, the wildcatters return to Burkburnett and pay Aldrich some of the money they owe him (and get more supplies with a promise of cutting him in).
