FAA says it’s reviewing an apparent communications breakdown that led police to think an aircraft carrying military parachutists for a baseball stadium stunt was “a probable threat,” prompting an evacuation of the U.S. Capitol.
The U.S. Army Parachute Team the Golden Knights descend into National Park before a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday, April 20, 2022, in Washington. The U.S. Capitol was briefly evacuated after police said they were tracking an aircraft that poses a probable threat, but the plane turned out to be the military aircraft with people parachuting out of it for a demonstration at the Nationals game, officials told The Associated Press.
The incident was a stunning communications failure, all the more remarkable because of Washington’s focus on improving security since theHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., promised a congressional review of the FAA's “apparent failure,” which she called “outrageous and inexcusable.” In an overnight statement, the FAA said it “takes its role in protecting the national airspace seriously and will conduct a thorough and expeditious review of the events this evening and share updates.” The agency said it knows its actions affect others, “especially in our nation’s capital region, and we must communicate early and often with our law enforcement partners.”Kelli LeGaspi, a spokeswoman for the U.S.
The capital region is defended by several surface-to-air missile sites, as well as military aircrews on round-the-clock alert. It did not appear that any of those systems was scrambled.
