Note: don't stand under helicopters

The articles seem to suggest otherwise, but when I heard about this on the radio this morning, they said the landing was un-planned. Or perhaps maybe their original landing location wasn't suitable for some reason?

Because you're right; the pilots and organizers of this sort of thing are normally VERY aware of this type of hazard. It's not like the Marines don't do air shows.

We had a life-flight chopper land at my elementary school when I was a kid, and the pilot made us all go inside. The entire school was standing around the parking lot, probably still 200' away, and the pilot refused to land until we were all in the building for fear that he'd kick up dust, gravel, etc, on the parking lot and pepper us. Even then, he landed on the soccer field instead. I remember, because I was pissed off that we couldn't see it land.

in Brecksville?
