## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) WHILE CONDUCTING A MILITARY DEMONSTRATION EXERCISE OVER THE PARK, THE ROTOR WASH OF WILD GOOSE 2 A MARINE CORPS CH-46, BLEW OVER A POLICE BARRIER THAT STRUCK 10 CHILDREN. MINOR INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REFUSED. THIS INFORMATION WAS RECEIVED FROM MAJ. SILVESTRI USMC, ^PRIVACY DA^. INVESTIGATION IS BEING CONDUCTED BY THE MILITARY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
