Iran Press/ America: The plane carried members of the U.S. army's parachute team, the Golden Knights, who then parachuted into Nationals Park for a pregame demonstration.
The incident suggested a stunning communications failure between the military, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Capitol Police, all the more remarkable because of Washington's focus on improving security since the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the building by supporters of then-president Donald Trump.
Multiple agencies scrambled
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the Federal Aviation Administration in a statement Wednesday night, saying its "apparent failure to notify Capitol Police of the pre-planned flyover Nationals Stadium is outrageous and inexcusable." The FAA did not respond to a request for comment.
