SEATTLE — Videos of Black Hawk helicopters flying over Lumen Field on Monday before the Bears’ game against the Seahawks caused alarm because of what looked like a close call between the aircraft and stadium fireworks, but a representative from the U.S. Army said there was no issue during the flyover.The four helicopters flew over the field during the national anthem, and fireworks shot out of the north end zone as they did.Lt. Col. Cynthia Holuta from nearby Joint Base Louis-McChord told KOMO, the ABC affiliate in Seattle, “We can confirm that no fireworks struck the aircraft, no aircraft were damaged, and no members of the aircrew were injured," Holuta said.Here’s a video of the scene: New video obtained by @komonews shows fireworks being set off from Lumen Field during pregame festivities last night - right as several military helicopters passed by. JBLM tells us no helicopters were hit by the fireworks. pic.twitter.com/GD5FaG8HCR Steve McCarron KO
