GR: screaming

[John Doe]

yes...you can certainly consider the sound of a V-2's
combustion as screaming...but..there's a problem: the
v-2 upon descent was moving faster than the speed of
sound...therefore, nobody would be hearing " a
screaming comes across the sky" if they were on the
receiving end of the trajectory....so the evacuees are
not in fact hearing a flying rocket...the sound
arrives after impact....they are "hearing" something
else...;  )
