Parachutes are noisy but you normaly cant hear them - In the morning from the
long course time slip stand with the temperature inversion bending the sound
downward you hear a boom and then a roar like a distant jet - It takes 6
second for the sound to travel and the chutes are easier to hear than see so
it seems everybody waits till the 5 1/2 to lift their foot and pull the handle
.
