Don't stand below a V22 Osprey!

A Marine Corps helicopter touching down for a Memorial Day demonstration on Staten Island sent tree branches flying into the stunned crowd, injuring at least 10 people.

As the Osprey dipped toward the ground at Cloves Lakes Park Preserve, wind whipped up by the helicopter's rotor broke up two mid-sized trees and sent some 30 branches flying, Deputy Fire Chief Roger Sakowich said.

Kids make good warning systems when all the adult are like: "Oh, shiny pretty metal bird". That kid is screaming as soon it hears that god damn freak of a helicopter because it probably knows it's gonna be a FAIL.
