An urban-style military training caused damage after a Blackhawk helicopter’s rotor wash dislodged bricks from an historic building.
Sperry’s Landmark, Inc., a closed department store in Port Huron, Michigan, was the site of a military exercise that involved two Blackhawk helicopters.
As the aircraft approached, “Rotor wash from a helicopter caused damage to the brick veneer along the roof line which fell and caused damage to the awning,” according to Army spokesman Randee Farrell.
The soldiers ran from the helicopter into the building where a training scenario was set up. The helicopters vacated the area once the soldiers were inside and returned an hour later after the training mission was complete to retrieve the soldiers.
As the training progressed Sunday night, simulated, nonlethal ammunition sounded and lights in each room of the old school administration building went on and off as soldiers progressed through the building. The helicopters were not equipped with any weapons.
