Maybe the #3 just swallowed a bird.
No matter how much power you applied to a 747 you could not make a successful SST out of it. The fuselage does not have the pinched waist that all supersonic aircraft need to keep the shock wave from separating the airflow around the tail. A 747 exceeding mach would not be controllable.Comment
