Onewolf, in response to your sounds like a missle question, it's quite simple. How fast are you going if you are on a regular civilian communter flight? I would guess that you are somewhere between 350 and 500 mph. Bing in the cabin does decrease the decible level of the engines, but it does not change the pitch and general sound. Therefore, anyone who has ever been on a plane knows what a plane sounds like. As for what a missle sounds like, go ahead and watch CNN if you want to know what a missle sounds like. I'll bet that sometime in the next 48 hours, you will get to see, and hear, a missle. Aside from CNN, most people can safely assume that a missle sounds more like a jet fighter's engine than the engine of a 757.
I know that a plane sounds different when going 500 mph at a much much lower altitude, but it is not so much different as to sound like a missle. The 500 mph mark is also just an estimate, as no one but the pilot knows the actual speed.
As far as the atomization, the 'plane' was not atonized. Remember seeing the picture of the inner engine? Actually it was the wrong size to be the engine from a 757.
