Fireworks launched during a Seattle Seahawks game came dangerously close to a Black Hawk helicopter participating in a pregame flyover, according to a report published Tuesday. The incident occurred at Lumen Field during what appeared to be a standard military appreciation ceremony.
Details remain limited, but the near-miss raises immediate safety concerns regarding the coordination between pyrotechnic displays and low-altitude military aircraft operations at sporting events. The Seahawks organization and relevant military authorities have not yet issued public statements on the matter.
The report was authored by Andrew Joseph for For The Win Outdoors.
