A tennis player at the French Open was visibly startled by a sonic boom Wednesday just as he was about to serve a ball.
A few minutes later, police revealed the cause of the noise: a fighter plane breaking the sound barrier. The French Air Force explained that the jet was authorized to break the sound barrier because it needed to check a small civilian plane that had lost contact with air controllers.
