Military Jets Fly Over London Causing 'Houses To Shake'

Military jets have alarmed people in London as they flew overhead which caused 'houses to shake' as well as a huge 'bang'.

According to people on Twitter, the aircraft were US Air Force F-15 Eagles and they're practicing for flypasts of the NFL games at the Spurs stadium later on this month.

A website called IanVisits reported: "A flypast of four US military jets will take place over the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of a US football event.

"The flypast will (or at least should be) by four F-15 Eagle fighter planes based at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.

"There will be flypasts on both 10th and 17th October. The flypast is timed to be between 2:15pm to 2:45pm, but as the kick-off of the football matches is at 2:30pm, it's likely that the flypast will be earlier."

Taking to Twitter, one person wrote: "Woah, two fighter jets and a sonic boom over N london just now - what's that about kids??"

Another added: "Anyone else just hear a sonic boom , presumably a fighter jet, over north London."

Someone else commented: "Thought someone's house had blown up sounds so close."
