The Snowbirds just screamed over downtown and people peed their pants

Normally I wouldn't Storify stuff from Twitter as my policy is generally "if you want to see something that happened on Twitter, go onto Twitter". But as I was sitting here at our office this morning and the Snowbirds flew over with full on smoke show/screaming engines, I just sat here with my jaw open not able to even think of catching a photo. I wished I had shot one for you, so here's some of the online reaction (including a couple photos) to this awesome random yet brief visit they made...

So the #snowbirds just made me pee a little with their surprise show over Downtown #vancouver just now! #verycool

And of course there's always going to be some people who get bummed (cue sad trombone)...

#snowbirds just rocketed very low over our house in East #Vancouver. Wish we knew in advance, cuz it sounded like a jumbo jet was crashing.
