The investigation seeks, with the withdrawal of the American network, “CNN”, to find out whether the war helicopters were flying at a low altitude above the heads of civilians, which may be considered a violation of aviation rules.
On November 14, US military aircraft, including Apache helicopters, flew at a very low altitude over Nissan Stadium, during an American football match in Nashville, Tennessee.
The game, which was held in the National Football League, was between the Tennessee Titans and the New Orleans Saints.
A US military spokeswoman said the 101st Airborne Division is conducting an investigation into the airlift, which occurred on November 14.
In turn, the US Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that it is investigating the matter as well, without providing any further information.
4 warplanes flew over the stadium at the beginning of the match, and videos were monitored that the planes were at a very low altitude that they were a few meters away from the upper stands in the stadium.
Two military officials said the military investigation was ordered by the division’s commander-in-chief, General Joseph McGee, and is expected to be completed quickly.
They added that if the investigation found violations of aviation rules, General McGee would have to take additional action.
Military airlifts over sporting events in the United States are common, and the US military uses them to build connections with the public, but this is done over certain bases, so that they must be flown at high altitudes that do not threaten civilians.
