Navy To Investigate Blue Angels Flyover That Sent Umbrellas and Chairs Airborne



Chaos briefly erupted on a Florida beach when a flyover by the Blue Angels squadron resulted in umbrellas, chairs and tents being sent airborne. The video below captured beachgoers at Pensacola Beach scrambling for cover as the planes flew low over the sand and banked hard to the side, creating a powerful gust of wind. The group was performing at a “Breakfast with the Blues” airshow. No injuries were reported, but beachgoers were clearly frightened. The U.S. Navy released a statement confirming that the jets "flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.” An investigation into the incident has been opened.
