Wild video shows military helicopters nearly being hit by pregame fireworks

The mistimed pyrotechnics foreshadowed a rough night for the Seahawks on Monday

Whether it was on the field or during the pregame ceremonies, the Seattle Seahawks had a rough night on Monday.

Before the Seahawks’ 34-17 loss to the Chicago Bears at Lumen Field, four UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters from the U.S. Army’s 2nd Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, flew over the stadium.

The only problem? The helicopters were nearly struck by some fireworks.

The timing of the fireworks was off, as the fourth helicopter had not yet cleared the stadium when the fireworks went off. Video showed the fireworks nearly hitting the last helicopter of the four.

The close call with the helicopters foreshadowed what turned into a rough night for the Seahawks. The 34 points the Seattle defense allowed were the most it had allowed all season.

Bears star quarterback Caleb Williams threw for 237 yards despite the Seahawks not allowing a 200-yard passer in their first seven weeks. The Bears had 363 yards of offense, 62 more than their previous season high.

Just eight games after winning the Super Bowl, the Seahawks find themselves at 4-4. If the season ended today, they wouldn’t make the playoffs.

In the loss to Chicago, the defense wasn’t the only unit to struggle. The Bears blocked a field goal on special teams and held the Seahawks to just 252 yards of offense, the second-lowest total for Seattle this season.

In addition to all of that, Seattle botched its pregame fireworks, too. Overall, it was a Monday to forget for Seahawks fans.

The Seahawks will look to bounce back when they play the Arizona Cardinals (3-5) on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET.
