Low-flying Brazilian air force pilots shatter every window of the country's Supreme Court (video)

Two Brazilian air force pilots could be collared by the long arm of the law after making a low-altitude supersonic fly pass which shattered every window of Brazil's Supreme Court.

If they know what's good for them, it might be a good idea to keep flying and put as much distance between them and the angry lawyers inside the blown-out building

Swooping low over the structure housing the Supremo Tribunal Federal in Brasilia, the two French-made Mirage 2000 jets generated a massive shockwave - destroying the building's glass facade.

The war planes had been taking part in the ceremony of exchange of the national flag at the Praça dos Três Poderes, at the Esplanada dos Ministerios.

No one was injured in the incident, but the shockwave was so powerful nearly every window in the court building was destroyed and a few in the Congressional buildings beyond.

It was all an accident.

Are they available for hire?

That would be a good start here.

Sounds like a plan. Perhaps a couple of Navy and Air Force squadrons could do a high speed pass down the national mall.

Permission for a fly by?
Negative, the pattern’s full.

That’s one way to make a statement about modern architecture....

Do they have the range to make Malta?

What he said.

[hinckley buzzard]

Would they be available for a short tour of duty in Washington?

Two of your snot-nose jockeys did a fly-by on my Supreme Court building at over 400 KNOTS! I want somebody’s butt, I want it now, I’ve HAD IT!
DAMN! That’s TWICE! I WANT SOME BUTTS!

Are there windows in Mecca?

LOLOLOLOL...

Here, where Navy and AF both play, and nobody follows airspace rules on speed, sometimes we get an air pressure change and the mach number suddenly changes.

Dust falls from the ceiling. Oops.

Stuff happens. Sound of freedom in my book.
