July 16 (UPI) — Chaos briefly erupted on a Florida beach when a flyover by the Blue Angels<\/a> squadron resulted in hats, chairs, umbrellas and tents being sent flying.<\/p>\n

Video captured by beachgoers<\/a> Wednesday morning at Pensacola Beach shows belongings going airborne as one of the planes flies in low over the sand and banked hard to the side, creating a powerful gust of wind.\n<\/p>\n

The Blue Angels were performing Wednesday morning at a “Breakfast with the Blues” air show, which runs through Saturday.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported, but beachgoers reported a combination of fear and excitement.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been coming for 10 years and I’ve never seen a pass like that in my life,” Ashley Korn told WEAR-TV<\/a>. “I literally thought we were going to be taken out by Blue Angels, but it was amazing.”<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy released a statement<\/a> confirming the jet “flew lower than standard profiles, resulting in a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.”<\/p>\n

An investigation has been opened into the incident.<\/p>\n

“The safety of our hometown community, spectators, and our pilots is our highest priority,” the Navy said. “Team leadership is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the maneuver and conducting a thorough safety review to ensure all operations adhere to strict Navy and FAA safety standards.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 16 (UPI) — Chaos briefly erupted on a Florida beach when a flyover by the Blue Angels…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[13907,28,30,29,3286,3284,3285],"class_list":["post-342990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-blue-angels","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-funny","tag-odd","tag-weird"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
