Speed of sound in movies

Movies get confused about the speed of sound. Should you hear the bang or see it first? Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige Buy the music - the music played at the end of my videos is now available here: https://lindybeige.bandcamp.com/track/the-mandeville-march More weapons and armour videos here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCA860ECD7F894424 The speed of sound in air is typically around 1,125 feet per second.
