No, they specifically talked about it going super sonic falling out of the sky. Maybe it just depends on the type of plane?
I would be amazed if 777 could exceed the speed of sound without breaking up first. The plane has to have a certain very distinctive and identifiable shape to withstand the effect of traveling at the speed of sound. 777 doesn’t have any of it,
