Saw something like this a while back at an airshow... F5E came down the flight line at something close to 700+. He broke the sound barrier just before he went over the actual town. Blew out every window for miles, took out a used car dealership, put a salesman in the hospital with ruptured eardrums. The FAA was waiting when he landed.

This has happened to me. Twice.
Not anywhere close to 800 mph, but literally right over my head. There was no shock wave, as the speed distributes it, but the shock (he came up from behind me while I was running a chainsaw) and surprise made me lose my balance and fall off the log I was limbing. At least, I didn't notice a shockwave.

Shock wave has different nature on ground and quite different in air.As shock travels in two ways...compression and depression.......it may knock our ears but will not be able to knock our body parts as they are less sensitive to sound effect.As the moment some thing will come in way the whole shape of shock waves changes. the perameters ahead the shock wave and behind the shock wave creats the barrier...so soon the medium will change from air to ground that barrier vanishes off and it will be automatically neutralized.

i have seen videos of the power of a jet engine, a jet engine parked at the ramp at full throttle will supposedly blow a car off its tracks. it would probably knock you back a few hundred feet when it is going at 800 MPH or 695 kts which is against FAA regulations.

It was fairly common for the F-111A to fly over the jungle in Vietnam at an altitude of 100 feet above ground and mach 1.5. We got reports back that many of the enemy under us had their eardrums burst. In all likelihood, they were knocked flat as well. Because they couldn't hear us before we passed over and were gone, they called us "whispering death". Needless to say, we weren't very popular in the north.

The shock wave would knock you over, and probably screw your eardrums up.
