[He starts talking a little bit faster as he works it out in his head, though the way he talks about the speed of sound, he's probably worked that out before.]
Speed of sound is about 768 miles per hour, so divide that by 60 you get about 12 miles per minute, divided by 60 is about 0.2 miles per second. so multiply that by ten you get two seconds, so I was going at half the speed of sound, give or take.
((At least according to my math, anyway. I COULD BE WRONG.))
