Frightening moments unfolded during an air show held in Florida, USA. An F/A-18 fighter jet belonging to the US Navy's Blue Angels demonstration team flying directly over the crowd on the beach caused widespread chaos.
Footage captured on camera showed the fighter jet flying at high speed at a much lower altitude than anticipated over the beach, moments by moment. The strong winds generated by the low-altitude flight and the high-decibel sound of the jet engine caused items on the beach to be scattered and people to flee in a panic.
Following the chaos, aviation authorities quickly took action. In a statement issued by the US Navy and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it was emphasized that the pilot in question had completely exceeded the established standard safety margins during the flight. While an official investigation into the incident has been launched, the pilot who performed the dangerous maneuver has been temporarily suspended until the investigation process is completed.
