What began as a scheduled pre-game parachute jump by the U.S. Army Golden Knights team into Nationals Field in Washington, D.C., is now the focus of an FAA investigation.
An apparent miscommunication among agencies led to a brief evacuation of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday evening after Capitol Police spotted an unidentified aircraft flying nearby in the flight restricted zone, or FRZ, over Washington. Police later determined the plane was carrying the Golden Knights, and that while the parachute demonstration was a scheduled event, their department had not been notified, officials said.
