There should also have been a speed-of-light vs speed-of-sound
delay between the flash and "whump." Which P&F would naturally have
noticed and used to calculate the distance to the... explosion? A
"sonic boom" is caused by on object traveling through the air (or
possibly other medium, but that's getting pedantic even for me), while a
flash/whump combo sounds more like an explosion.
...what? I'm locked in a lab doing aerospace R&D 10hrs/day all
week long. Eventually it... changes... a person.
Aero-engineering pedantery aside, the whole piece seems a
bit... light. It needs a punch line or something at the end. As it is,
it just sort of peters out. Although the "badger" bit was funny.
