@apnews: Watch the moment a jet from the Navy's Blue Angels flew so low over a crowded beach in Pensacola on Wednesday that chairs and tents went flying. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is sticking to encouraging low-altitude military flyovers after the fighter jet buzzed the Florida beach during a show this week, raising new scrutiny after the Pentagon has dismissed a series of safety reviews of such flights. #florida #fighterjet #usnavy #petehegseth #beach #pensacola

Captain Bryan of the blue angels deemed the fly over the beach was unsafe. Finally some honesty.

Strict rules dictate that pilots maintain designated distances from crowds and never direct kinetic energy toward spectators. This is terrorism

Ahhh yes, putting the general populations health and safety as risk for no good reason. Truly a hallmark of this administration.

Pete hegthseth thinks it's funny...he has completely lost his mind...Americans don't deserve to be threatened by their own military

This is a distance that will cause permanent hearing damage. This is incredible unprofessional and dangerous. These stunts were banned because people died, and if they keep happening they will again.

The Blue Angels officially stated that the aircraft accidentally flew "lower than standard profiles" such an unnecessary danger to inflict on civilians

This would have been the biggest news story 15 years ago. We would have had congressional hearings for weeks about this.

I'm blown away (no pun intended) that the Blue Angels would think this is okay. Really an awful look for an otherwise amazing and elite group.

Network broadcasts portrayed the beachgoers as "scared" or "startled" by a "dangerously close" flight. The unedited audio from the original video proves the crowd was actually ecstatic, cheering wildly, and celebrating the "Breakfast with the Blues" tradition. The unedited, raw spectator footage proves the crowd on the ground was absolutely thrilled, cheering, laughing, and fist-bumping.

I’ve been to air shows. The flyovers are thrilling. But to fly over a beach where you’re blowing umbrellas beach chairs and large amounts of sand around is reckless and dangerous to those on the ground. People have been impaled and killed by flying beach umbrellas. He needed to stay over the water like the other one did. As for the sound it’s extremely loud after it passes. That’s to be expected - if you have babies or small children you should have hearing protection with you for the show.
