Marine aircraft mishap injures 10 at NYC park

NEW YORK - The powerful propellers on a U.S. Marine Corps aircraft doing a Memorial Day demonstration has blown tree branches into people on the ground in a New York City park.
Firefighters say ten people suffered minor injuries.
The Osprey MV-22 aircraft was landing at Staten Island's Clove Lakes Park around 8 a.m. Monday as part of Fleet Week. It's an annual event honoring the U.S. military.


Marine Corps spokesman Lt. Josh Diddams says the wind generated by the aircraft's propellers broke branches off a nearby tree. The branches were swept into some people on the ground.
Firefighters say seven people have been taken to Richmond University Medical Center. Three others refused medical attention.

Just one question.  Who is the dumbass in the Commandant's office that keeps scheduling these dog and pony shows in New York?????  The second most fucked up state (California wins the crown) in the union with few real supporters of the military but they keep sending our guys up their to "thrill the crowds"...AMAZING.

PS.  I found the video.  This was a complete and total CLUSTERFUCK!
