Black Hawk helicopters buzzed downtown Denver and other neighborhoods Monday evening in a training exercise to prepare for a possible terrorist attack.

The flights had people all over town calling authorities to find out what was going on.

“It’s nothing more than Special Operations Command training with local authorities,” said Lt. Nathan Potter, with Special Operations Command, which has authority over special forces from all branches of the military.

Potter would not say which branch of the military was flying the choppers over Denver.

The training has nothing to do with preparations for the Democratic National Convention, which will be held in Denver in August, Potter said.

“It’s routine preparation for the global war on terrorism,” he said.

Several Black Hawk helicopters were seen flying low near Coors Field during a home game of the Colorado Rockies.

    Hmmm….. ‘nothing to do with preparations for the DNC’ -yeah rite, let’s see what happens….. I predict we’ll see helicopters dropping things about the size of glowsticks into a crowd soon!

    In truth it makes me comfortable that they are doing this. You complain now but you’d be bitching up a storm if they weren’t prepared.

Got something to say?
