Two F-15 fighter jets broke the sound barrier on the hunt for an aircraft that broke the no-fly rules during President Barack Obama’s visit to Seattle. A sonic boom shook windows and could be heard throughout Seattle – and residents quickly took to Twitter and Facebook to report the fuss. After the smoke had cleared, the entire event became known as Obooma.

Embarrassing for a pilot and some passengers, a privately operated floatplane unknowingly violated a temporary airspace restriction and landed at a Seattle suburb.

The AP interviewed Laura Joseph, a passenger aboard the floatplane who claimed she and the pilot didn’t know anything was wrong until they landed and were told they had to talk to the Secret Service.

“Oh my God, I can’t believe – is this the top news thing?” Joseph asked the AP.

A spokeswoman for 142nd Fighter Wing of the Oregon Air National Guard in Portland said the jets were launched at 1:38 p.m. Tuesday.
