The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air, is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.
Broadside collisions are where the side of one vehicle is impacted by the front or rear of another vehicle, forming a "T". In the United States and Canada this collision type is also known as a right-angle collision or T-bone collision; it is also sometimes referred to by the abbreviation "AABS" for "auto accident, broadside".

The project resulted in the development of the prototype Miles M.52 turbojet-powered aircraft, which was designed to reach 1,000 mph (417 m/s; 1,600 km/h) (over twice the existing speed record) in level flight, and to climb to an altitude of 36,000 ft (11 km) in 1 minute 30 seconds.

Revisions needed for intersection. There is a very dangerous traffic situation on Columbia Center Boulevard where it intersects at Kennewick Avenue south of the HAPO building.
On 15 October 1997, 50 years and 1 day after the sound barrier was broken in aerial flight by Chuck Yeager, Green reached 763.035 miles per hour (1,227.986 km/h), the first supersonic record (Mach 1.016). His call sign was "Dead Dog". As the vehicle exceeded the speed of sound it created a sonic boom.
This is the first time in history that a land vehicle has exceeded the speed of sound. The new records are as follows: Flying mile 1,227.985 km/h (763.035 mph) Flying kilometre 1,223.657 km/h (760.345 mph) In setting the record, the sound barrier was broken in both the north and south runs. Paris, 11 November 1997.
