I watched that several times and have one question; at what altitude was the speed of sound broken and what was the air density? The speed of sound will depend on the air density, at sea lever it's one speed and at a higher altitude it will be a higher speed. I'm not trying to detract from what he did, he's one brave and lucky guy!
