Whoops! Looks like someone forgot to properly secure the parachutes to these Humvees before rolling them out of the cargo doors of these C130s…
For at least 3 Humvees in this massive mishap, the picturesque green fields of Hohenfelds, Germany were the end of the line. The improperly secured Humvees, known to be incredibly heavy and tank-like, fall like anvils from the sky as they easily pull away from the parachutes intended to float them gently to the ground.
Fortunately for us, there was someone there to video the mishap for our viewing pleasure!
For some strange reason, the GIs in this video seem almost giddy as they see these massive armored vehicles thud into the ground. Clearly, the unit that will catch hell for this mishap has a rivalry going with this group.
WARNING: The servicemen in this video curse like sailors, despite the fact that they’re in the Army.
