Compression Waves
form when the air is high in humidity and as an aircraft APPROACHES the speed of sound. Just because a compression is visible doesn't mean the aircraft is meeting or exceeding mach 1.
I don't know where this video was taken but if it was at an airshow in the U.S. pilots are not permitted to break the barrier in front of a crowd. Sonic booms can wreak all sorts of havoc with our physiology. Not something the Government wants to be responsible for.

- I was there
  this flight was at fleetweek in San Francisco. He did not go supersonic, went about 600 mph, no sonic boom but the jet was loud. I was about 1000 yards away on shore when he went by. Awesome.

Not
supersonic, just below. It's illegal in the US to go supersonic in populated areas.

- Under a certain
  altitude. I don't remember what the altitude is. But they can break the sound barrier over populated areas just as long as they are above that specified altitude. Obviously this aircraft is below that. though

It's extremely easy
to keep my car going 64mph at the hiway, within speed limits, engaged in cruise control.

The pilot here is also capable of doing the same thing to avoid a sonic boom.

Sorry to tell but there was no sonic boom. Actually, there are two sonic booms in less then a second which this video lacks.

sound barrier intact
No sonic boom(s) = no sound barrier broken. Awesome video though.
