Breaking the Sound Barrier

A double whammy for you all this week! Two videos of Thrust SSC breaking the sound barrier.

Andy Green… the man with the biggest cojones on the planet. But even he doesn’t sound cool in one of these videos as he finds that driving a car at supersonic speeds is both difficult and scary.

Respect.

The record was set on October 15th 1997 at Black Rock Desert, with the project managed by the previous record holder, Richard Noble.
