Who heard the shuttle's sonic booms as it landed in Edwards?

wow! BOOM BOOM. I was in Westwood and the buildings and windows shook. No one had any idea what was going on and a group of teenagers began to run.

With its signature sonic boom, shuttle lands at Edwards

The space shuttle Discovery landed this afternoon at Edwards Air Force Base, complete with its signature sonic boom heard across Southern California.

The shuttle glided down over Los Angeles and landed on the runway without incident.
