A US Army Black Hawk helicopter narrowly avoided a potentially dangerous encounter with stadium fireworks during a pregame flyover at an NFL game between the Seattle Seahawks and Chicago Bears on November 2, 2026. The incident occurred at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, when pyrotechnics erupted while the final helicopter in a four-aircraft formation was still passing over the stadium. Dramatic footage captured the fireworks exploding remarkably close to the military aircraft, prompting audible gasps from spectators.
