‘We thought we were dying!’ Rhode Island residents left terrified after secret special-forces exercise sees helicopters cutting up tree branches and EXPLOSIONS going off near their homes
‘We thought we were dying!’ Rhode Island residents left terrified after secret special-forces exercise sees helicopters cutting up tree branches and EXPLOSIONS going off near their homes
- National Guard held the exercises starting around 10pm in Providence on Friday
- Residents heard explosions and saw soldiers running across their streets
- Others felt their houses shake as helicopters flew overhead and landed nearby
- Many complained that the Army had not notified them of the planned training
- The Army said it put up notices, went door-to-door and made cell phone calls
- But it admitted it was ‘impossible’ to tell everyone in the densely populated area
- Similar exercises were run in Newport and Pawtucket, as well as other locations
Residents of Providence were left fearing for their lives on Friday night after the army conducted a special forces training operation in a heavily built-up part of the city.
Simulated explosions were heard nearby and helicopters flew so low that their rotor blades chopped off tree branches as locals took to social media to figure out whether their lives were in danger.
Risa Gilpin, 68, told the Providence Journal she ‘heard this unbelievable noise’ at around 9:45pm. ‘I was sure that a plane had gone down in South Providence,’ she said.

Residents of Providence, Rhode Island, were left cowering in terror after their densely populated neighborhood was used for special forces training by the National Guard
Furious residents cornered one Army representative (center) who was told they had not been warned of the exercises, and that they thought they were doing to die in the simulated attack
Residents asked a local news company why they were bombarded with the sounds of explosions and left literally shaking by helicopters while soldiers swarmed the streets
Police cruisers were seen parked across roads, lights flashing, as soldiers scurried across streets.
Explosions similar to grenades going off were heard near houses, while two helicopters landed on Dexter Field, a public park that had been taped off, slicing up tree branches.
It was all part of an exercise intended to practice special operations tactics in an urban environment. But the residents of that urban environment had no idea.
Tina Demers, 70, who lives two blocks over from Dexter Field, said her house began to shake and her neighbor’s plastic furniture flew about the yard as a helicopter passed over her house.
‘Initially, I was very scared,’ she said.
