## Summary

A US Army Black Hawk helicopter narrowly avoided fireworks during a four-helicopter flyover at a Seattle Seahawks game on Monday. The fireworks erupted while the aircraft was still overhead, but it continued flying without apparent damage; the near-miss drew attention because pyrotechnics and low-flying aircraft shared the space above a packed stadium.

The flyover took place at Lumen Field before Seattle’s game against the Chicago Bears, which Chicago won 34-17. The stadium held about 70,000 people, and the four helicopters had flown in diamond formation. The article notes that Black Hawks have served since 1979 and are built for military use, while also recalling a separate low-level flyover by two passenger jets over a rugby stadium in Cape Town.
